liquor, guns and money topped die news in 2009

This time of year newspapers look back at the news of the previous 12 months, not only because the news is typically slow this time of year, but also in an attempt not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and encourage more of the great things achieved since the last time the planet rounded the sun.

McCauley, arrested after an investigation in January of 2009, is due back in court early next month.

Wilmington's lost gold BY LARZ E NEILSON

Somewhere in Wilmington he the bones of Sarah E. Carter, who died in May 1899 and was buried at the point of a triangular stone wall. But exactly where that might be is a mystery.

There are probably other unmarked graves in town, but the following story gives this spot significance. It is a tale about a barrel of gold coins having been found in Wilmington. It is entertaining

to speculate where the coins might have been buried.

The story, written by Frank Furlan, appeared in the Wilmington Crusader in Oct. 1952. Mr. Furlan lived on Shawsheen Avenue

Little Sarah had a dream. She dreamed of wealth; she

reveled temporarily in a superabundance of golden play things; she was supreme- ly happy - and then she woke up. Then a couple of nights later, she had another dream. This time, her floating vision penetrated the mysteries of space, and she gazed upon stacks of golden coins. Again she had money to burn, and again, she was happy in the momentary possession of the natural element which brings joy to the heart of all of the human race - and then again, Sarah woke up.

Sarah was but a child - the daughter of a poor farmer who long ago lived on a small farm in Wilmington, Mass.

She was shy and did not like to speak of her two dreams.'

To be sure, the genii of dreamland had taken special precautions in directing the wandering fancy of the child dreamer, and had even carried her range of perception to a three-cornered stone wall which surrounded her father"s cow pasture, and there he had shown her a barrel filled with gold coins.

Sarah's father was a plain every-day sort of man who did not place much stock in the relative values of dreams as a matter of individual sus- tenance, and thus Sarah hesitated in relating the peculiar vision which had crept into her little head as she lay asleep in the attic room. During the daytime she stole to the spot where her dream had directed her, and she sat on the three-cornered stone wall and wondered where in the world all the beautiful

owners Joe and Amy Bayles received a big lump of coal Christmas night. Awoken by an alarm company at 2:30 in the morning, they found that the windows of their Main Street business were shot-put by hooligans. They were not alone. Businesses and residents all over town found glass doors, windows,...and cars shot up in a nighttime shooting spree.

"It appears someone got a shiny new Red Ryder BB gun

for Christmas," said Police Detective Lt. Christopher Neville. "But unfortunately their actions caused a great deal of inconvenience and monetary loss for many local residents and businesses."

For the Bayles, owners of Main Street Consignment at 634 Main Street, those financial consequences are more than $3,000 between replacing four shop windows and paying a company to emergency board up the windows at 3 the morning after Christmas.

The Bayles opened (heir

consignment shop just seven months ago. While a modest amount of the damage will likely be covered by insurance, the rest will come out of the pockets of the business owners.

"We're a new business and we budget down to the penny, lb have something like this come out of nowhere..." said Amy Bayles. "It was just to destroy property, they didn't want to break in and they did not want to steal anything. This wasn't about someone

covered the ongoing denial of the Santini Family, Inc. package store license by Selectmen.

On June 6, 2008 the Santini Family, Inc. filed an application for the transfer of the All Alcohol Package Store License from B&B Liquor to the Santini Family Inc.. d/b/a Sonny's Mobil on the Run at 316 Lowell Street. Selectmen denied the transfer in July 2008 following a public hearing. On appeal the ABCC decided in favor of Derek Santini and asked the Selectmen to reconsider their vote in late October. Selectmen later denied the transfer in December. In 2009 the matter went to the state superior court, which ruled on September 1 that

Of late that liquor license continues to receive media attention after selectmen voted to deny then approve the reinstate- ment of' the license to the

owner that tried to sell it to Santini in the first place.

TON - Every ten years the federal government must do a census of the people, and 2010 is no exception. This year, however, residents will have an opportunity to avoid a census worker visit the home.

Further, the annual town census, mandated by the state of Massachusetts, will be mailed to households in the next few weeks. Prompt attention to that survey will not only keep voter information active, but also help each town's bottom line by ensur-

ing local aid is distributed equitably.

A Thousand Shoes for a Thousand Hills By DANIEL R. CHALMERS Since taking office,

President Obama has pushed for an increase in volunteer work and community service. One local resident is taking him at his word. .

Alex Soper, a citizen of Wilmington, has collected one thousand shoes, which will be sent to Rwanda. Soper attends St. Charles Elementary School in Woburn. He is nine years old, and in the fourth grade.

Soper was moved into action through a combination of President Obama's urging and his parents' experiences in the African country.

Tammy and Peter Soper, his parents, spent time in Rwanda in a small village as part of a church group. After noticing that many of the people in the photographs from the trip were lacking shoes, Alex was inspired to start a collection of shoes to ship to the country.

Rwanda is recovering from a series of civil wars that have ravaged the country.

After deciding on what he intended to collect, he set his goal on one thousand shoes. Rwanda is commonly referred to as the "Land of a Thousand Hills," so Soper

decided to call his project "A Thousand Shoes for a Thousand Hills."

Soper designed, created and

distributed fliers at his school and among his friends "and families, including one that

a parent moves in." Even then, it only takes a

moment to review the information, sign the document, and mail it or drop it of at town hall.

Wilmington residents will start seeing their census forms shortly, as George says she will mail them the first week in January. Tewksbury residents will get theirs a little later, a week before the January 19 special state election for U.S. Senate to replace the deceased Senator Ted Kennedy's seat. Town Clerk Mary Ann O'Brien Nichols decided to delay the mailing so that folks might be prompt- ed to turn in their completed census forms to the election.

Annual census forms are pre-filled with the pertinent household information including voter status, party affilia- tion (and note that a 'U' stands for 'unenrolled', i.e, and independent, not 'unknown'), address, names, genders, and dates of birth of household members, school information, nationality for non US citizens, if someone is a resident, and to register a dog. Occupation information is optional.

Wilmington does not collect school information or nationality and uses a separate form to register dogs, though it will be included in the census mailing. Further, new Wilmington residents or those not registered to vote will be sent voter registration cards in their mailings.

Tewksbury and Wilmington experience different rates of participation in the census. While George says she saw a 97 percent return rate last year in Wilmington, Nichols estimates that the return rate on census forms for Tewksbury runs 80 percent, a number she hopes to see rise significantly this year, because every uncounted per-

son means less state aid to help meet the annual budget.

"The census basically says how many people in the town are using the services. When someone doesn't return their census, the consequences are more than changing the voter status from active to inac- tive," said Nichols. "If we don't have a census form for the people in a household, we cannot count them to the state, and therefore we do not receive local aid funding for those people from the state."

Nichols notes that information collected about children is not given out, but is exchanged with the school system. Likewise, information on student enrollment is shared back with the town, and the clerk sometimes gathers census data that way. The data is crucial to school systems that use it for dis- tricting, local aid funding, and enrollment projections.

Additionally, adds George, the census data is crucial at the federal and state levels for representative and voting districts. She notes that following the 2000 census Wilmington lost a representative. Census information is also used for the street list- ings, those that fail to return their census three years in a row may be dropped from the

' voter rolls and the street listing.

Wilmington and Tewksbury also manage the annual town census differently with, Wilmington producing the form in house and Tewksbury contracts out the printing and mailing. Both clerks say they save money doing it their way.

"We are pretty diligent; I feel that by doing it in house I have more control over it. I know exactly what is going out," said George, who adds that she did not like the forms a firm the office outsourced to used. "Last year we sent out 10,500 census forms and we got back in the high 9,900's. We did very well and I keep looking at the percentage that we have back. Once we get within 90 percent I slow down, because I feel that 90 percent is very good response"

Nichols is asking every board in town to stress the importance of the census in

LOANS WITHIN THE FAMILY

If you're the "good guy" in the family who can afford to lend to others and does, good for you. In today's economy, the advice is usually to lend carefully to avoid problems with borrowers. You need also to protect yourself from the IRS.

If you loan money and don't charge interest (not uncommon within the family), the IRS will impute interest income at the applicable federal rate and consider it taxable income to you. Recent rates range from 0.75 percent to 3.88 percent, depending on the size and length of the loan. If you lend a sizable sum to fund a home purchase or a business, your tax cost could be considerable.

Smart move: put the loan terms in writing, to be signed by both parties. This shows the IRS that the amount is not a gift subject to gift tax. Do charge interest. Important: if the loan is secured by a personal residence, file a mortgage with the county clerk so that the borrower can deduct the interest payments.

Here's wishing you a terrific 2010, with a better economy and lower taxes, from the folks at

every meeting to help ensure that they are returned. Even if a form requires no changes, residents are encouraged to sign and return them within ten days. Like Tewksbury, Wilmington asks residents to sign and return the form within 10 days, but recognizes that they receive most of their response within 30 days. Both towns send out a subse- quent mailing in early spring to encourage folks to either drop off or mail their forms.

Later in the spring, around April 1, the federal census will be mailed to households across the country. Households that fill out the census will likely avoid a visit from a census worker. Municipalities send the bulk of the information to the federal census bureau, which seeks to streamline the information it collects this year, using only 10 questions, in an effort to increase responses.

"If they send their census in, they won't hear from me anymore or the federal census," said George. "But if they don't send their census in, they will be hounded by the federal census bureau. And by hounded, I mean they will be called."

Sometimes residents receive much longer surveys from the US Census Bureau, in particular the American Community Survey, which is ten pages long with many detailed questions. The sur-

, vey selects homes at random and residents will receive calls if they do not fill it out. For residents concerned about the legitimacy of any survey seeking personal information, both George and Nichols encourage them to call the Town Clerk's office with questions.

We are pretty diligent; I feel doing it in house that it gives me more control over it. I know exactly what is going out. Another company doing it I wasn't crazy about the forms.

Last year we sent out 10,500 and we got back in the high 9,900 - we did very well and I keep looking at the percentage that we have back, once we get within 90 percent I slow down, because I feel that 90 percent is very good. If they miss three censuses and two federal elections they can be taken off the voter rolls altogether.

"For me, it is more cost effective not to produce the census in house," said Nichols. "I saved money last year by totally outsourcing it and saved this year by changing companies."

Previously Tewksbury had the form printing outsourced and delivered back to the Clerk's office for hand envelope stuffing, sealing, and mailing, labor intensive and expensive. Instead, she redesigned the form herself, sends the form to a printer for printing, folding, and mailing the forms.

"I send a file to the printer and I don't see them until they come back," said Nichols, noting that it used to take her office a week to get the mailing out the door. Now a machine prints, folks, and stuffs the envelopes. She saved 5 cents per form last year, and an additional 5 cents per form this year by changing companies.

money in 2009

FROM PAGE 1 After nearly a year of litiga- tion about the matter, Robert McCann hopes to open his new package store at 335 Main Street in the spring.

Following an eight-month investigation by the Middlesex District Attorney's office, officials determined that there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against 24-year police officer and firearms instructor Steven LaRivee, who stored numerous firearms and other weapons in his home. In fall 2008 a Woburn Street house rented by the now retired Wilmington Police Officer was broken into by a group of teenaged boys who stole a number of firearms and ammunition, prompting a lockdown and controlled exit at the Shawsheen Valley Regional Technical High School.

"It was discovered that Officer LaRivee stored numerous firearms in the home, some of which had been stolen in the course of the breaking and entering. We conducted an extensive investigation to determine whether Officer LaRivee's storage of the firearms was in violation of the law," said spokesman for the Middlesex D.A., Corey Welford. "Specifically the law requires that firearms be equipped with trigger locks or be secured in a locked contain- er."

Welford stated that the investigation included inspec- tion of the scene at 764 Woburn Street, ballistic analysis, and witness state- ments.

"Upon completion of that investigation we found no credible evidence to prove that he had been in violation of the law and insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges in this case," said Welford in June.

However, an internal investigation by Wilmington Police stated that Larivee, who leased the property, knew local youths were trespassing and that the ramshackle house he rented was not prop-

erly secured. Deputy Chief Richter called Larivee's actions reckless and negli- gent, rising to the level of 'conduct unbecoming.'

Larivee was asked to resign by Town Manager Michael Caira, and will receive a somewhat smaller pension.

Olin Superfund Site work began

The Olin Superfund site is the newest in the region being added in mid-2006. In July 2007 a settlement was reached with Olin and other potentially responsible parties to determine the nature and extent of the contamination at the site. James DiLorenzo of the Environmental Protection Agency estimated that the town is about three and a half years before beginning the actual clean up. One to two rounds of fieldwork which will collect 150 groundwater samples and 100 soils samples, each one testing for 200 or more chemicals. This phase, begun midyear, will

> likely take between 12 to 15 ■ months. Test well data collec-

tion is also part of the study.

Swain School & Town Pound

After a lengthy debate that rivals records on Town Meeting floor, the residents eventually voted to tear down the historic Swain School. Built as a high school in 1914, the Swain School was last the home of WCTV. The television studio moved out over the summer for its new digs and the Swain was knocked down following proper removal of asbestos from the property. The building inspired many residents to call for historic preservation, rehabbing the school into a modern educational facility, but in the end, town officials convinced voters that the property was more liability than opportunity. With falling down walls and brick, the structure liter- ally caving in, and a basement (and bathrooms) that flood with every rainstorm, voters opted to keep a few pieces of the school for historic preservation and demol- ish the rest.

The recent loss of the 200 year old Town Pound by a capricious property owner

was often cited as a reason supporting preservation. The town animal pound, built in 1814, was a 15' by 18' heavy fieldstone enclosure used to secure unattended livestock in the town center until owners could retrieve their cows, horses, pigs, and so forth. Though sold back into private ownership in 1911, the town pound was cited several times in the National Register ol Historic Places as a contributing structure in Wilmington's Centre Village Historic District. Town Pounds were commonly used in New England from the mid 1600s to the late 1800s for the temporary quartering of ani- mals. The stones were gathered and will eventually be restored at the new site, the Olde Burying Ground.

A parking lot was later con- structed at the site

MWRA

Six years after nitrosodi- methylamine, or NDMA, contamination shut down five public water wells and effectively eliminated two-thirds of the town's water supply, Wilmington fully connected to the MWRA as a member town in 2009, bringing a supply oi water to the town.

"I'm extremely pleased that we are finally able to guaran- tee the citizens of Wilmington fresh, clean water," said State Representative Jim Miceli at a Water and Sewer Commission meeting following the connection in May.

After town meeting voted to approve becoming a member town with the MWRA, Rep. Miceli and the legislative del- egation worked to get the leg- islation to the Governor's desk as soon as possible, signed by all applicable parties. Once all the contracts were signed Wilmington was able to take MWRA water whenever necessary.

"For the first time in seven years we will not be in a. state of emergency with water supply," said Water and Sewer Superintendent Michael Woods. Wilmington's supply takes from the Ipswich River Basin, which is "highly stressed."

devastating.'We cannot lose $3,000 + dollars at the end of the year. "

Police confirm that the matter is under investigation and that the incidences of damaged car, home, and business windows were scattered over a large area, in different sections of town.

"This was just vandalism, malicious vandalism, they gain nothing out of it," said Deputy Chief Richter, adding that malicious vandalism it considered a felony. Further, town bylaw prohibits the fir- ing of any firearm, Including pellet, BB, and paintball

guns, within town limits. Police continued to receive

reports Tuesday of damage from businesses that were closed over the weekend. Police do know that the per- petrators were driving in a red car.

As of press time, three businesses, five cars and one home reported damage, though police believe there are more.

Joe Bayles told the Crier that if the investigation becomes stalled he might pursue funding a reward with other victims.

What's Cooking? by Paula Murphy

Sweep out the old year with sausages When I was growing up,

everyone I knew ate sausages and lentils on New Year's Eve. They're considered lucky foods; the sausage symbolize the fat, or riches of the coming year, and the lentils symbolize money. It's traditional in Italy to throw old possessions out the window to make room for new ones, but in our neighborhood, we would instead sweep the old year out the back door and sweep the new one in the front. Then we would sit down to a big meal at midnight, washed down with lots of Prosecco. My mother would dance with Grandma and whatever friends came to spend the evening with us, and we kids (until we got old enough to find the whole idea of dancing in the kitchen embarrassing) would twirl around them, laughing hys- terically.

Sausages with Peppers and Onions

2 pounds Italian sausage (6 to 8 sausages)

3 large onions, sliced 6 peppers (3 red, yellow or

orange, and 3 green) seeded and cut into strips

4 garlic cloves, minced Vi teaspoon oregano 2-3 tbsp olive oil

Pierce each sausage with a fork in several places, and place in a large, heavy frying pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Brown, turning occasionally, over medium-low heat. Be patient, so the sausage cooks through without burning on the outside. When they're almost done, add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, and mix in and saute the garlic, onion and peppers in the same pan. Serve with plenty of crusty Italian bread.

Sausages with Potatoes and Vinegar Peppers

2 pounds Italian sausage (6 to 8 sausage)

6 large potatoes, peeled and sliced thickly

8 vinegar peppers '/< cup olive oil

Pierce each sausage with a fork in several places and place in a large, heavy frying pan with the olive oil. Brown, turning occasionally, over medium-low heat. When well browned and cooked through, remove sausages from the pan. Sprinkle the hot oil with a little salt to prevent stick- ing, and add in the potatoes over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy, turning often. Add sausages back in. Tear

vinegar peppers into bite- sized pieces over the skillet so their juices will fall in, and scatter them over the pan. Toss gently until peppers are heated through. Serve with plenty of crusty Italian Bread.

Pizza Rustica (sausage pie)

1 pound Italian sausage (around 4), cut into Vt inch pieces

1 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

2/3 cup Ricotta cheese 5eggs 2 ready-made pie crusts 1 small onion, finely

In a large bowl, mix eggs, spinach, mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, onion, and salt and pepper to taste Fold in sausages. Pour into pie plate which has been lined with one of the pie crusts. Top with the remaining pie crust, and seal edges. Brush with a little

beaten egg, if desired Bake for VA hours, and let sit for 20 minutes before slicing.

Lentil Soup 5 sprigs parsley 2 stalks celery with leaves,

minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 medium onion, chopped 1 large carrot, chopped fine 4 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp tomato sauce 1 lb. lentils, washed 7 cups hot water 1 tap salt pepper to taste 1 cup cooked ditalini or

With 2010 beginning in just a few days, I thought it would be nice to note a few smart ideas that were found in the 12/28 edition of Woman's World:

"Invite good luck with grapes" as they do in Spain and South America by eating 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight...one for every chime of the clock. The tradition is said to guaran- tee success in the year ahead; and, because grapes are loaded with healthy minerals, it's a fun ritual that's good for you. Yours truly will be trying this ritual out at midnight.

"Pat yourself on the back" this New Year for the great

things that you accomplished in 2009. Make a list of the new healthy habits, smart choices and everything else you did right during the past year. All too often we remember only what we did wrong. This exercise should lift one's spirits to continue those good things in 2010.

"Dodge stress with this resolution"...instead of a New Year's resolution, let yourself off the hook and make a "new month's" resolution. Research shows that once someone achieves a short-term goal, it motivates one to get through another.

Lastly but far from least, "spread kindness". Studies show that every time youj do something nice even as simple as holding a door open for someone or smil- ing at the grocery clerk at1

check-out...you feel happi- er. Even catching someone! else doing a good deed helps to boost one's mood Doing kindnesses all yeai will certainly make for a successful year.

A Healthy, Happy and Successful New Year ii wished to all. God Bless America. i

Rams wrestling team pulls out a shocking win ■

u

Bv MIKE IPPOLITO Sports Correspondent

Last Thursday afternoon, on Christmas Eve, the Shawsheen Tech wrestling team may have pulled off its biggest victory in program. For the first time ever, the Rams defeated Division 1 power and defending Division 1 North sectional champion Lowell, by a score of 41-31 as part of a quad match in Billerica. ; The Rams also earned wins over Haverhill by a score of 36-17 and Tewksbury by a score of 51-24, but it was the win over Lowell that had the high school wrestling scene buzzing. With the win over 8th ranked Lowell, the Rams improved to 6-0 on the season, and are currently ranked third in the entire state behind just Franklin and Springfield Central.

While coach Mark Donovan was not about to put too much emphasis on one early season win, even he could not deny the significance of the victory for his team and his program.

"Absolutely, we made a statement today," Donovan said. "We had a lot of kids step up and they beat a very good team."

While the Rams had a hard time picking up victories in the lower weight classes, once they arrived at 135 pounds and Anthony Finn, the never looked back. Finn pinned his opponent Kevin Sullivan, part of a three victory day for the junior. Sophomore Jason Baker of

Wilmington picked up a 4-1 decision at 140 pounds, while junior Ryan Cassidy won by technical fall at 145 and junior Jesse Dillon won by decision at 160 pounds.

At that point, the meet moved on to the area where the Rams are the strongest and they did not let their team down, as every wrestler from 171 pounds on won by pin. Junior Anthony Pimentel (171), senior Alex Najjar (189), senior Andrew Companeschi of Wilmington (189) and junior Steve Higgins of at heavyweight all rolled to victory for the Rams.

Along with Finn, other wrestlers to sweep all three matches on the day were Cassidy, Dillon, Najjar,

Companeschi and Higgins.

Hockey The Shawsheen Tech hockey team

is off to an outstanding start to their season, with a 4-0-1 record in the early going of the season. The Rams continued their fine start to the season on Monday and Tuesday with victories in the first two rounds of the Capital City Classic Tournament in Concord New Hampshire

On Monday, the Rams downed Bow, New Hampshire by a score of 2-1 in overtime and they followed that up with another dramatic win on Wednesday in the semifinals when sophomore forward Joe Sodergren of Tewksbury scored the game winning goal with just 1:08 left in regulation.

The Rams were preparing to take on New Hampshire power Londonderry High on Wednesday night at 7:15 for the tournament championship.

The opening round win over Bow will officially go into the Rams record books as a tie due to MAA regulations which does not allow overtime games until the state tournament, but in terms of the tournament there was no doubt that the Rams came out on top and they did so in dramatic fashion with sophomore Mike DiGiorgio of Tewksbury scoring the game winner at 2:14 of overtime

Although the Rams brought a 3-0 record into the tournament, Baker still did not know just how his team would respond to the step up in competition from their early season schedule, but they responded splen- didly.

"Obviously looking at early season schedule I did not know exactly how we would be," Baker said. "With the exception of Northeast in our second game we had not found ourselves facing those kind of teams. Going up there and facing Bow was tough, it was really our first true test besides Northeast. The first period not great, but from there we turned it on and played much better."

Senior captain Brett Fredrickson had scored the first goal of the game for the Rams, and the team was also led by a strong effort from junior goalie Ryan Maskell of Wilmington who made 23 saves to earn the win.

"Maskell played well especially coming off not being really tested in the early season," Baker said. But we knew Ryan was a solid goalie He showed that last year even though he did not get a lot of playing time behind some upperclass- men, and he is showing it again. Looking at the goaltending core and I am very happy. Ryan is getting bulk of starts, but if head to go with the either of the others I would still feel confident."

It doesn't get much more dramatic than an overtime victory, but the Rams sure tried on Tuesday night against Division 1 Bishop Brady, this time getting the game winner from Sodergren on a shorthanded goal with 1:08 left in regulation on an assist from senior defenseman Jesse Rossetti of Wilmington for a 3-2 victory.

Baker had called a timeout after the penalty was called against the Rams with 1:25 left in the game, and the play that he planned for his team worked to perfection.

"We called timeout with 1:25 left wanted toe get some kids a break," Baker said. "I kind of verbally drew up an idea for the kids. We had a draw in our end and DiGiorgio drew it back to Rossetti. Rossetti made a nice flip out of the zone to Joe and Joe blew past defense and put in nice goal."

"The kids were Kids all high fiv- ing, me. They think I am a genius now," Baker laughed. "You draw the plays up and it doesn't work all the time, but this time it worked per- fectly."

In addition to assisting on the game winner, DiGiorgio also scored the Rams first goal of the game. He and Sodergren have combined for an outstanding tournament so far.

"Joe and Mike are playing outstanding," Baker said. They are just sophomores, but they are starting to do what I had hoped. I had

hoped would play like juniors and I have been impressed with them as well as with Fredrickson."

Senior defensemen Cody Wilkins of Wilmington added the Rams other goal, while Maskell made 33 saves between the pipes.

The two-time Cape Ann League champion Wilmington High School Boys' Hockey team kept up its strong start taking down two more teams this past week and improve to 6-0.

A day after Christmas, the Wildcats knocked down Amesbury, 5-1, in a Cape Ann League contest and then two days thereafter the team defeated Lexington, 3-1, in the first round of the annual Haverhill Christmas Tournament. That win put the team into the championship game against league rival North Andover on Wednesday with results not known as of presstime.

In the win against Amesbury, Wilmington led 2- 0 and 3-0 after the "first and second periods, before using the entire line-up in the third period and skate away with the win.

"I thought the effort was good considering we had a day off (for Christmas), and we were a little bit slow in that second period, but overall it was a good effort," said head coach Steve Scanlon. "This was a team win, everyone got to play and we are happy about that. One concern that we have is our forwards are getting a lot of scoring chances and are not converting. I know this kid is a good goalie, but against better teams, that could be come an issue and be a problem for us.

"All in all we are happy with the win. We got two more league points and we stay clear of the rest of the pack in the league. We were able to get the egg nog and brownies out of our system, and now we move on to the Haverhill tournament.''

Scoring the goals for the Wildcats were Brian Hurley, Dan Cushing, Jefree Harris, Patrick Boudreau and Jared Ravagni. Harris added two

assists, while, Brendan Collins, Colin Fbley, Ravagni, Cushing, Liam Gately, Ed Barrasso, Chuck Barbara and Kevin Moriarty had one each. Zach Rosa played the first two periods and saw two shots, before Joe Aucoin played the entire third period making six saves.

On Monday night, Barrasso and Andy Owens scored goals in the first period before Foley added the team's last goal before Lexington made things interesting scoring a goal with under six minutes to go in the game. Owens, Barrasso, Kyle Creedon and Ryan Derian each had an assist.

Rosa made 12 saves in the net, as he has given up just two goals in six games thus far.

On Saturday night, Wilmington will travel to Newburyport to take on the defending Division 2 state champions at 7:00 pm.

Girls Hoop The Wildcats were defeated

by an undefeated Ipswich squad, 58-43, last Wednesday night. Wilmington is now 1-3 on the season, and Ipswich improved to 6-0 with the win.

"Turnovers and inconsistent rebounding was the difference," said coach Jay Keane.

Wilmington trailed 29-20 at the break, and were they ignited in the fourth quarter with great production off the bench by freshmen Cailin O'Flaherty and Alexandra Derian, who helped closed a double digit lead down to eight points with three minutes to go, but then the Wildcats just ran out of time.

Senior Amy Fahey led the way with 21 points and 4 steals. Sophomore Maggie Brown ended the night with 10 points and 9 boards.

Wilmington will return home on Tuesday night to face: North Reading beginning at 7:00 pm.

20W TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2009 HOME NEWS HERE.COM

Wilmington's lost gold FROM PAGE 1

gold pieces could be that she had seen so plainly in her sleep.

A few nights later, Sarah dreamed again, and this time in her dream, she travelled in fancy to the three cornered stone wall, and as though by some invisible force, the ground was upturned right at the junction of the wall.

She seemed to see through the ground, and she discovered a barrel the same one she had seen before, the sides seemed to fall away as if by magic, and there before her the country lass saw thousands of gold coins, which seemed to her like the greatest fortune in all the world. She ran forward to scoop some of the gold pieces up in her apron. But then Sarah again woke up.

The third vision caused Sarah some uneasiness. Child as she was, she felt sure that there must have been something real about the barrel of gold, for she had seen it so distinctly, and she had even marked the spot where it lay buried. And yet, she dared not tell her parents, for fear of being thrashed for being superstitious or a lazy, dreaming girl.

As luck would have it, however, Sarah's parents died during the following year, and the orphan child was found out by the good kind charita- ble officers to a horny-fisted old farmer named John Schrader, who operated a small farm a few miles from Lawrence Three months after her

arrival at the home of the whiskered farmer, Sarah was again visited by her dream genii. Again in fancy, she sat on the wall of her father's cow pasture, and again she saw and played with the stacks of gold coins.

Despite his roughness, there was an air of gentleness in old John Schrader, and he soon made Sarah feel at home in his company. The child, hav-

John in

farm

him spot

his the He

ing no friends of her own to share the secret, finally decided to tell her guardian of the several peculiar dreams she had had.

Schrader was a native of Switzerland. He believed rev- erently in dreams. He listened in awed wonder at the strange story which which the strange little drudge was telling him, and then like the good old man that he was, he bade the child to say nothing about her dreams to anyone until he had investigated just what there was in the vision.

Two days later, Schrader arrived Wilmington in his wagon with little Sarah.

The child directed unfalteringly to the where she had seen the treasure in her visions. The old man went to work with spade He worked with energy of desperation, was fearful lest someone should happen along the road and discover what he was trying to find. The child sat per- siely in the wagon, watching the work of the man who was trying to locate the treasure of which she had a dream.

She knew it was there and it was due possibly to her air of childish conviction that John Schrader worked as he had never worked before in dig- ging a deep hole at the point where the walls formed a junction.

He had made a hole five feet in depth before his pick struck something hard.

The perspiration was standing out on his face in great drops, but still he worked rapidly on until at last he uncovered what appeared to be the head of a powder barrel or keg. The rest was easy. In a few moments, the entire keg was uncovered and by a few well-directed blows with the pick, off went the head, and there just as Sarah had seen in her dreams lay the gold coins

Schrader scooped up the money up in his hat. He was

frantic with joy. He leaped and danced about like a mad- man. He threw the money into the wagon by the hatful. How much in total value he found, no one will ever know, but it is generally supposed that there was no less than $125,000 in the hidden keg.

On one Thursday, 53 years ago, the good people of Wilmington performed an act of royal generosity when, by popular subscription, they raised the sum of $70, which they used in giving Sarah Carter a decent burial, the grave being dug on the very spot from where John Schrader years before dug the treasure of which the child had dreamed, now an old woman.

No one about Wilmington has ever heard anything about John Schrader knew how or in what manner the keg of gold could have gotten into the place where it was found. But the fact remains on the town records of Wilmington that a keg of gold was found by John Schrader, and the records further state that the remarkable discovery was made possible by the vision which came to Sarah Carter.

Editor's note: There is a record in the town clerk's files of the death of Sarah E. Carter on May 27,1899, listing her age as 77 years, one month and one day. There is no record of her birth. There were eight Carter

families of child-bearing age living in Wilmington in 1822. There are births listed in 1822 for three, making it quite unlikely that they could be her parents. One possibility is Alfred and Susan Carter.

Susan Carter died in 1826, but there is no death listed for her husband.

As for Furlan's statement about the town records stating that a keg of gold was found, it may be true but nobody knows of such a reference

A Thousand Shoes for a Thousand Hills

FROM PAGE 1

featured a scale that correlat- ed to his goals. He also set up cardboard donation boxes. One was placed in the driveway of the family's Wilmington home and others were placed at his school.

The collection started in early November, and Soper reached his goal of five hundred pairs—totaling one thousand shoes—in December.

Soper checked the boxes regularly and collected the donated shoes. Together with his friend Timothy Maguire, who is a resident of

Burlington and his classmate at St. Charles, the shoes were prepared for shipping.

The shoes were initially stored on the Sopers' porch, before they were strung together with elastics into bags of fifty. The total amount of five hundred pairs, placed in a crate, will be shipped to Rwanda in the coming weeks.

Before the task was under- taken, Soper's parents made a deal with him that if he could realize his goal, they would pay the freight costs. The shoes will be sent to a village in Rwanda for distribu-

tion. The Sopers are involved with a non-profit initiative in Rwanda called Hope for a Thousand Hills (hope4athousandhills. org) that focuses on working to restore Rwanda's economy.

In addition to the tremendous success of his shoe drive, Soper is also considering other collection drives, such as a clothing drive, that would take place in the future

Alex Soper wished to express his gratitude to all those who donated shoes to the project and helped him to reach his goals

And the winners are... After several anticipated weeks, the Town Crier's Decade and Year

Sports Award winners are announced in this section* A ten person panel voted on three individuals, Steve Scanlon, Ernie Mello and Lani "Cabral-Pini as Coach, Male and Female Athletes of the Decade, while the Tbwn Crier sports staff named Jodi MacKenzie, Caleb Rogers and Brittney McLaughlin as the Coach, Male and Female Athletes of the Year.

Tb explain these awards a little bit, the Year awards are given out to those individuals who excelled during the 2009 calendar year. Thus for the athletes, the winners were selected based on their performances from the winter, spring and fall athletic seasons, and not by ' the academic school season.

■* As for the Decade winners, these awards are given out to the best 1 Coach and the best Male and Female Athletes of the entire decade

It is not an award given out solely to the best high school athlete from Wilmington or any other school who competed over the last ten ■$ years. The nominees for the Decade awards were made solely by Jamie Pote, the Town Crier Sports Editor, who then compiled a 10- person panel to vote on each nominee. Inside this issue on page SP5W, are the completed ballots of the nameless panel members.

On this page are the six winners, starting from top left going clock- wise: Brittney McLaughlin, Female Athlete of the Year; Ernie Mello, Male Athlete of the Decade; Jodi MacKenzie, Coach of the Year; Lani Cabral-Pini, Female Athlete of the Decade; Caleb Rogers, Male Athlete of the Year; and Steve Scanlon, Coach of the Decade

Inside this issue are feature stories on all six winners, as well as biographies on each of the three decade winners. Turn to page SP2W for Steve Scanlon, SP3W for Ernie Mello, SP4W for Lani Cabral-Pini, SP6W for Brittney McLaughlin, SP7W for Caleb Rogers and SP8W for Jodi MacKenzie.

If you would like to tell us what you think about this section, and the award winners (positive comments only on the winners only please) send an email to: [email protected].

Coach of the Decade: Steve Scanlon ar

By JAMIE POTE Snorts Editor

Before his team hit the ice on Monday night to play in the annual Haverhill Christmas Tournament, Steve Scanlon has already guided his team to a 5-0 record, and has ten points which is half the total needed to make it the state tournament. Counting the 5-0 mark, Scanlon coached the ice hockey team to a record of 128-71-23 record this decade, and made a state tournament appearance in all but two seasons.

And just several weeks before the ice hockey team's season started, Scanlon completed his 9th season as the head boys soccer coach at WHS where he compiled a record of 118-54-25 qualifying for post season all but one season. If you add the two sports teams up, Scanlon had a combined record of 246-125-48, which is a 59 percent winning rate, and then an amazing 70 percent rate of wins and ties together.

"Steve's (coaching) system works," said Athletic Director Ed Harrison. "He has a plan and the kids buyinto it. He's very successful, he's very dedicated and committed to getting the job done. Not only are the kids prepared, but they are respected by their opponents in both sports."

Take the Good with the Bad

Of the 246 wins this decade, and of the 125 losses Scanlon's teams suffered, two of the 419 games he coached stand out more than the others.

"My favorite moments I would have to say when the hockey team went to the Garden to play for the state championship," he said about that magical ride back in the Winter of 2008. "That was incredible and just quite the experience And then to win the sectional title like we did, against Tewksbury, what better way could we have possibly done it? What a game - that was something I'll never forget and certainly has to be my favorite moment."

Next month will make it four decades in which Scanlon has coached high

.school sports. He made trips in soccer at Methuen High and Westford Academy before taking over on a permanent basis at WHS in 2001.

He had tremendous suc-

cess at Westford bringing home a state championship title back in 1992. Now 17 years later he led another soccer team to another historical season, as this past soccer team finished as the Division 2 North Sectional Finalists, after going unbeaten in league play with an incredible mark of 18-1-3.

So now you realize that he took one soccer team to a state championship title, and 17 years later he took a different team, from a much different town and league to the North Sectional Final, coming three wins away from winning the elite championship trophy, and that's probably his most impressive feat of them all. All the while he did that, he took the ice hockey team to its first ever sectitfnal championship, and second trip ever to the state final ,and the first since 1984. "That time in Westford

when we won the state championship, you didn't realize what was going on," he said. "You thought at that time that you won a state title and you'd get another chance You never realize at that time how hard it is to get back there To get on one of those tournament rides is just incredible

"So I guess over time the thing that I've learned as a coach is just being more patient with the kids and being more patient overall and try to let the team come together." From when he started

coaching in his mid 20s during the late 1980s, and now being in his mid 40s going on to his fourth decade of coaching, Scanlon was asked about, the changes he has made as a two-sport coach.

"I don't think I'm as tough as I used to be" he said. "But I think part of that is because now we have established ourselves and know there are expectations with both teams. But the kids police themselves. I think times have changed a bit, but you still have to go with what you got. The kids are used to the kinds of methods and systems we use and we have proven that they are pretty effective

"I think today athletes are more specialized. I mean look at soccer - this year's team had a number of kids with very good skills. Back a few years ago I had Adam Jensen and he was the only one and now I have five kids

who have that kind of skill that he had. So I think the kids today are more polished and it's just the evo- lution of club ball."

Half of a Dozen not too shabby

In soccer, Scanlon guided the Wildcats to their first ever league championship back in 2007, as well as guiding the team to two straight unbeaten seasons against Cape Ann League opponents in 2008 and this past year.

In hockey, he guided the team to six Cape Ann League titles this decade including four in a row from 2000 to 2003, not to mention the league championship seasons in '08 and '09. "The things I always

remember and think about is Wilmington kids just work very hard, and they do that for all of the coaches here," said Scanlon. "They are tough, and also coachable kids. I'm also proud of the fact that they are such good sportsmen. As teams they always play tough, but you don't see them out there ripping officials and stuff like that.

"I think the success means we have a lot of good kids, good hard working kids, some great cap- tains and we also have had a lot of great assistant coaches. I mean Chip (Bruce) had to do with so much of the success we had with both teams. We worked very close together and he was such an important part of the success.

"We always have had good kids and it's great when they are Alumni and they come back - that makes a lot of difference tome"

Over the course of the ten years, Scanlon has the 246 wins, the seven league titles, the sectional title a

state championship finalist trophy, a sectional finalist trophy, as well as being named the Cape Ann League Town Crier and Lowell Sun Coach of the Year a combined nine times, thus all having to do with Scanlon being tabbed as the Town Crier's Wilmington Coach of the Decade.

"I really appreciate it," he said. "It's a big honor and I think it says a lot about our programs. But you never know - I mean Jimmy (McCune) had an awesome run with the basketball program. So for us, I guess hopefully we can keep it rolling for another ten years."

Your dedication to sports insures spectacular sportsmanship onand off the field.

Male Athlete of the Decade: Ernie Mello ■ i

By JAMIE PQTE Sports Editor

Over a course of a decade, how many athletes can say they played for a National Pop Warner Championship team, played for three league championship high school teams in one year - which included rushing for 1,700 yards in football, scoring 29 goals in hockey and playing error free ball defensively in baseball - before advancing to a very elite college named WPi, where he excels on the football field and more impor- tantly in the class room?

Well one Wilmington kid did all of that from 2000 to 2009 and his name is Ernie Mello, the'Town Crier's Male Athlete of mis Decade.

"Getting an award like this just puts everything in perspective," said Mello, now a sophomore in college "It took a while after I found out before it hit me and it's just awesome. Just to be nominated was such an honor.

"fthought maybe I'd have a shot at it, but when you see a kid. named Joe Herra on the list; it's just quite an honor. Joe is a couple of years older than me and I remember watching him play from the sidelines and he was an awesome player. So for me, this is just an honor to be nominated and to win it was just an awesome surprise."

A Pec Wee Star Starting out when he was

young, Mello excelled on the football field. He was a running back throughout his Pop Warner days and remembers the 'D' team, coached by his father SJeve, that advanced to the Nationals in Rhode Island and winning it all.

"That team was awesome and to be that young and to be able to go to the farthest point, the New England Championships and to win it against a team from Rhode Island is something I'll always remember," he said.

"That was such a good experience, and with my Dad coaching, it's something that will always stand out in my mind." From there Mello worked

his way up, playing three sports, football, hockey and baseball and traveling all over, competing in many youth leagues, summer teams, and various all-star teams. As he got older, he then entered WHS where he had a Hall of Fame like career.

"Ernie is the whole package, both academically and athletically," said his high school hockey coach Steve Scanlon. "He's top notch in the classroom and that carried over to the athletic fields. The thing that impressed me with Ernie is how he was that good in contact sports. That's tough to do -1 mean he got whacked as a running back and he got whacked as a forward on the hockey team. He's a gamer - Ernie's the type of athlete when the chips are down, you get his best. When you needed a lift or needed a goal, you got one from Ernie"

Mello played four years of varsity hockey, and during his junior and senior seasons he combined to score 41 goals and add 31 assists. It was his senior season that he'll always remember, and not for scoring 29 goals, and not for being a Cape Ann League All- Conference Player - but for what the team did.

"I had a lot of good memories but my senior year when the hockey team made the trip to the Garden to play for the state championship was such a great experience," he said. "Even though we lost, we grew as a team. And specially, the Division 2 North sectional game against Tewksbury, the atmosphere, how we won it' was just awesome."

Mello and teammates Eric Siegel and Mike Cabral became a three-horse show as the leaders of that Wildcat

to the in the

team that advanced to Garden and lost Division 2 state championship game to Sandwich, 1-0.

"He is very comparable to Justin Vallas (the program's all-time leading scorer)," said Scanlon, as Vallas helped lead the team to a North Sectional appearance in 1998. "They would just make big plays in big games and you need those kinds of players in order to win."

Titles Galore And win is all Ernie Mello

has ever done. He was part of back-to-back Wildcat Football teams that shared the Cape Ann League Championship back in 2006 and '07. It was during his senior season, back in the Fall of '07, when he scored seven touchdowns and rushed for 375 yards in one game, a home victory against Lawrence.

"Yeah that game does stand out," he said with a big laugh. "That was just a memory of my senior year which was great all-around. I mean I was a captain on three teams that all won a league title - so I have such great memories of all three teams that senior year."

Besides rushing for 1,700 yards and scoring 29 touchdowns helping the football team take a share of the title, and besides having a combined 47 points and helping

* the ice hockey team capture its first ever sectional title and make its first trip to the state final since 1984,

Mello also was a key fixture in the baseball team's share of the league title during the Spring of 2008. He made a switch to play his third position in as many seasons, and after making 11 errors his junior year, he didn't make a single error on 94 chances during his senior season and was given the team's Gold Glove Award playing first and

Female Athlete of the Decade: Lani Cabral-Pini Bv JAMIE POTE

Sports Editor Last year at this time, Lani

Cabral-Pini was named the first female ever to become a two-time selection for the Wilmington Town Crier's Female Athlete of the Decade dating back to the inception of the award in 1994. That feat is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Neither is the fact that she earned 24 varsity letters between high school and college, playing three sports for each of the past eight years, while holding a 3.89 grade point average in college, and yes, embarrassment time, all the while being ver- tically challenged, standing at just five feet tall.

She has a very long list of personal and team accomplishments both athletically and academically, but no matter how many times it's written in this newspaper, the fact that she was an impact player on all six teams she played on, earned 24 varsity letters, all while maintaining an almost perfect GPA, goes without saying, that she certainly deserves the Town Crier's Female Athlete of the Decade Award.

"There were many outstanding WHS female athletes from the last decade," said Sue Hendee, who served as Cabral-Pini's high school soccer coach. "Some were three sport athletes and some went on to have successful collegiate careers. Lani is the only athlete I have ever known to be a three sport athlete for all four years in high school and college.

"What makes this even more unique is that she was not just a participant, she was a starter and impact player on every team from day one. For eight years, Lani played a major role in helping teams build programs and win championships.

"What is most unbelievable about Lani is that she was able play eight years of three sports per year, graduate near the top of her class in high school, and with a GPA of 3.89 in college. Beyond all of this, she is also just a great person.

"Lani absolutely deserves to be recognized as the athlete of the decade. I am really proud of her and all that she has accomplished. I cannot think of anyone who has rep- resented herself and the Town of Wilmington in a better way."

Working her way up It's here in Wilmington

where Lani first became such a gifted athlete, playing in all kinds of youth and travel leagues, before getting to the high school level. That's when she says she became a

better athlete because of those players surrounding her.

"I have to thank all my teammates, especially the other girls up for this award because all of them were my teammates as some point or another and have helped me to be a successful player and have helped my teams be as triumphant as they were," said Lani. "Those girls deserve a round of applause for all of their accomplishments."

You want to talk about accomplishments? OK, here we go with Lani's starting with high school. From 2002 to 2005, Cabral-Pini was an all-star in two sports and all- league player in softball, as well as a point guard on the basketball team that qualified for the state tournament during her junior year for the first time in the previous four years.

In addition she was part of five league championship teams including three in softball and two in soccer, the one as a junior was the first time in school history. That season, the team advanced to the second round of the state tournament losing to Wakefield in a shoot-out.

"That game stands out as a top highlight," she said. "We lost that game with ten penalty kicks, and the only reason we went to PKs was because (Lauren) Rappoli scored all three goals to tie the game up - (that was just) ridiculous."

Cabral-Pini also pointed out a game from her Senior year in softball, where it took two days and 17 innings before a team scored in the Division 2 North sectional semi-final played against league rival Triton Regional held at Lowell's Martin Field. Triton ended up winning the game, ending Wilmington's season.

Cabral-Pini said despite that game and the Wakefield contest being losses, she still holds a lot of memories in her heart today from those two Wildcat teams.

"I know these are both losses, but these games left a mark just because of how no one can really say that they played for that long (in softball) or had that many penalty kicks," she said. "These are the games that you're so anxious and nervous, that it actually feels good."

Her accomplishments in college go beyond 'ridiculous'. But in a nutshell, she was a two-time all-conference selection in both softball and soccer, she holds the basketball program's record in steals with 237, she was a three- sport captain, two sport Team MVP, Lesley College's Female Athlete of the Year and a two-time member of the All Academic team. And

to top it off, she was a part of four tournament, league or conference championships.

And that just barely touches the surface

"She has been recognized by the Cape Ann League (high school), and North Atlantic Conference and New England Collegiate Conference (college) as an All-Star in every sport, and was named captain for sue seasons at Lesley University," said Hendee. "She is an incredible leader and has won the respect of all of her teammates and coaches throughout her career."

After those heartbreaking losses in high school, Cabral- Pini helped rebuild all three programs at Lesley College, and that followed with many enjoyable wins and several other tough defeats. All three programs struggled to win before Cabral-Pini walked through the gymnasium doors, and all three programs ended up either making history by wins in a season, or advancing further in post season play than any other previous team. For starters, it happened on the soccer field.

"Every time we played Elms, it was like we were playing for some sort of national championship; especially in soccer since we had never beaten Elms in nine years or so," she said. "We ended up losing the NECC championship game to Elms in penalty kicks my senior year, but I can remember

•everything that happened play for play that entire game and I know I always will. I have never cried so much after a final game as I did with soccer.

"My other favorite game would be the time we played Gordon my senior year. We tied 1-1 after double overtime, but we scored in the final nine minutes of the game. This is so memorable to me because of how we celebrated the goal - no other celebration matched that."

Tear down the net Just several months after

that special victory, she was a part of another one, this time on the basketball court.

"Definitely winning the NECC Championship over Daniel Webster (this past) year," she said. "They gave us a run for our money toward the end, but keeping my team relaxed and settled really was a nice cap to an entire four years. The best part of all was cutting down the net in Mitchell's gym."

As a junior, Cabral-Pini was a part of the Lesley College women's softball team that went on to play in the NCAA tournament after winning the NAC.

"No one expected us to win

Wilmington resident Lani Cabral-Pini has been named the Town Crier's Female Athlete of the Decade after four successful years playing soccer, softball and basketball at both WHS and Lesley College in Cambridge.

that league; especially over all the Maine teams we were up against - Husson, Thomas, and Farmington," she said. "We forced seven games in a double elimina- tion tournament, which we did last year too, and the underdogs prevailed. It was the best feeling winning a championship over UMaine Farmington in a league that we were no longer going to be a part of the next year and seeing all the stunned faces.

No other championship has ever felt so good. No one could have asked for a better outcome. Everyone stepped up in their own way and played a huge role in our success."

This past spring, Cabral- Pini helped the softball program win the NECC Regular Season Championship, the NECC Tournament Championship, while leading all NCAA Division 3 players with walks per game, after

leading the entire division in runs per game as a junior. And she did it standing just five feet tall.

"I really have to thank my coaches for pushing me and believing in .this little girl when no one else would take me seriously," she said. "And of course I have to thank my family for being my biggest fans and my hardest critics. It only made me stronger, faster, and better."

Cabral-Pmi has been named the Town Crier's Female Athlete of the Year twice, and now the Female Athlete of the Decade.

Lani Cabral-Pini Overall - Earned 12 varsity letters in high school, excelling in soccer, basketball and soft-

ball, and also earned 12 varsity letters in college excelling in the same sports at Lesley College, all while carrying a 3.89 GPA in college. During high school career, she was part of five league championship teams, and during collegiate career she was a part of two league championship teams.

"Ernie was always ready to go," said Scanlon. "He was a good leader. He was the kid who would step up in the locker room and say something that was not always the popular thing, but something that needed to be said. That's rare these days - he actually did his job as a captain. He was a leader by example. He would go that extra mile and he was such a hard nosed kid."

That hard nosed player has kept up those incredible feats at the collegiate level making

SP6W TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2009 HOME NEWS HERE.COM

Female Athlete of the Year: Brittney McLaughlin Bv JAMIE POTE

Sports Editor After answering questions

in the middle of the Wilmington High School gymnasium for about a half hour, obviously embarrassed as some of her friends and classmates looked on, Brittney McLaughlin was asked about her other hobbies, besides being a three-sport athlete. She shrugged her shoulders, smiled and said "No I don't have any really, just sports. So I'm kind of boring."

While the comment was pretty funny in the moment, the truth is there's nothing boring about McLaughlin. She's a super nice kid, very thoughtful and caring, always has nice things to say about people, loves her family and her friends and is extremely appreciative She's humbled but also very truthful about her own abilities and what she did and what she didn't do to help teams out.

But the one thing she probably doesn't realize is that her accomplishments both as a person and as a student-athlete are the complete opposite of boring.

"Beyond athletics, Brittney is a strong student who wants to pursue a career in nursing," said girls' soccer coach Sue Hendee. There's nothing boring about helping other people in dire need and Hendee sees a future in that field for this bright, hard working unassuming kid. "I have thoroughly enjoyed coaching Brittney for the past four years. She is a great kid and a talented player who will truly be missed.''

Said softball coach Audrey Cabral-Pini: "Brittney's a first class person. She's just a very coachable kid, who does a lot of things for us and who will do anything to help the team. She's not about individual stats at all - it's always about the team wins. When she's catching, I'll ask her to give me her thoughts on the

pitcher and if we need to make a change. She'll say yeah the pitcher is gassed and we need to make a change. That's not an easy thing to do when you're friends with these kids. She doesn't hold back because she knows it's all about doing what's best for the team."

Over the calendar year, McLaughlin was part of the 4x200 relay team that placed third at the CAL Meet and 21st at the State Meet during the indoor track season. She was also a consistent per- former in the 300 and as part of the 4x400 relay team.

Then in softball, she was an all-league catcher, leading the Wildcats in almost every offensive category, while throwing out 92 percent of would-be base stealers. Finally in soccer, she led the team in scoring and was an all-league selection again, and leaves the program as its ninth all-time leading scorer.

Whether it's running a straightaway, belting a huge home run against Amesbury, or scoring a key goal to give the soccer team a win, there's nothing boring about this three-sport athlete. The so called 'boring' teenager doesn't want to think about the day when her Wildcat playing days come to an end.

"I'm really sad to think that it's going to be over soon," she said. "I love it here. But I'm hoping that once I get into college, that things will continue to go as well. Obviously the people I got to know in high school, I'll never forget them and I'm going to always remember them."

The torch lives on McLaughlin is the oldest of

three daughters to Glen and Nancy. She has two younger sisters, Taylor and Michaela, who she said she is very close too. They both are athletes as well, and Brittney enjoys watching their games.

"Yeah ' we played a lot

together in the backyard (growing up)," she said. "We would get our dogs out there and they would chase us around with the soccer balls and stuff so that was a lot of fun."

Brittney said she gets a kick out of watching her sisters play sports, grow older and loves being that one they can look up to for guidance.

"Obviously I have to be responsible and show them what's right and not right, but it's definitely fun because I'm very close with all of them," she said. "They are both into sports so I go to their games and it's fun because I wonder if I was like that when I was their age."

It was around Michaela's age or thereabouts when Brittney first got into sports. She started out playing soccer, and then joined up on the softball team. Little did she know at the time that her entire family were athletes. Her father played baseball and hockey "and maybe wrestling and football" at WHS, and her Mom played field hockey and softball at Burlington High School.

"My Mom gives me more field hockey stories, but there's been some softball stories," she said with a laugh. "I have four aunts and one uncle on my mother's side and all of my aunts were involved with softball, and were all catchers, and even my grandmother was a catcher at one point."

While many of the Aunts were catchers, they are also nurses or in the medical field, which Brittney already has her sights on after graduating from WHS in June.

"My Mom will come home with these crazy stories - there was one time when she said a guy almost killed himself but a group ©f people who didn't know each other came together to help him and they saved his life. That was very inspiring to me."

That inspiration that her Mom gives her, Brittney hopes she can pay back a little by expressing her gratitude publicly to her family.

"My grandparents are always at all of my games and are always very supportive," she said. "And I want to thank my Mom and Dad for always supporting me throughout my high school career and obviously all of my coaches for teaching me everything and believing in me too. They all did a really good job."

Going straightaway McLaughlin joined the

indoor track team as a sophomore just so it could benefit her with her foot speed for softball. Shortly after putting on the running shoes, her ideas of running indoors quickly changed.

"I started my sophomore year and I thought it was just going to help me stay in shape for softball but I actually really like it," she said. "The more I ran, the more I competed and .the more I liked the sport."

After her rookie season, McLaughlin improved greatly as a junior. This past winter she ran the 300 meters indi- vidually, and was also a part of the 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams.

The 4x400 relay team just missed qualifying for the state meet, but she was part of a successful 4x200 relay team serving as the team's anchor leg. She joined Lizz Chin, Catrina Fryer and Carmen Palumbo, and the foursome finished third at the CAL Meet, and then 21st at the Class C State Meet with a season best time of 1:54.4.

"Working with (Chin, Fryer and Palumbo) was a lot of fun," she said. "We all tried our best, and we all got along. There was never any animos- ity between us, and they always did a great job."

You would think that being an anchor leg of a relay team is much more difficult than running a normal 300 meters on your own. But McLaughlin begs to differ.

"The 300 is usually two straightaways and one turn and I feel like that's harder than running on the 4x400 relay team which is one lap around," she said. "I'm the last leg and it's really not a

lot of pressure - well I never ^thought about it as being pressure until after I ran. It wasn't bad - I just tried to catch the person who was in front of me or keep the lead that we had."

But now two of those teammates have graduated and McLaughlin was looking for new members to join up before the 2009-10 season begun. Before that happens, she said she'll remember the good times she had as part of that relay team.

"We had a real good team, and we had a lot of fun. I miss all of the seniors we had from last year, so we had fun," she said.

Entering this season, McLaughlin earned that respect from her coaches and teammates as she was elect- ed as a team captain. Head coach Tom Bradley said that's because of the incredible work ethic she has put in over the previous two years.

"I have always seen her give all out effort," said Bradley. "Brittney is a good example to all. Having seen her play softball and soccer she is just a tough competitor, and I'm very impressed with her. Brittney is a super competitor first and foremost. Track is her third sport and she is quite good.

"She is a point scorer in the 300 every meet and and has generally anchored the 4x400 relay and she was on a state qualifying 4x 200 team. She is a captain on this year's team. I wish I had her for spring track but she loves softball."

Catching on nicely McLaughlin will be playing

in her fourth year on the varsity softball team come this Spring. She serves as the team's catcher, and having a girl come in as a freshman and start at that position all four years hasn't happened to often with the proud program. She made an impact right away as a freshman helping a very young team at the time go through growing pains. As a sophomore she was named a league all-star, despite missing the last four games with an elbow injury.

"We were on our way to the state tournament that year and when Brittney got hurt, we lost our last four games and we didn't make it," said current head coach Audrey Cabral-Pini, who served as an assistant that season. "All we needed was one win and we couldn't get it, so I think that shows you how important Brittney has been to the program."

The elbow injury really

affected the way she played defense. She struggled defensively through her first two seasons, mostly throwing out runners. She always had the bat, but defensively she knew she had to improve She said getting over the injury and f being her stance made it all come together this past spring where she threw out 92 percent of would-be base stealers.

"I hurt my elbow so I went to a strength coach and he told me what I was doing wrong," she said. "He said my stance was off a little bit, that I wasn't standing wide enough, so when I came up my front foot was behind my back foot."

Getting completely healthy and tweaking a few things defensively really helped McLaughlin emerge on the diamond. She has a fantastic junior season for the Wildcats. She was named to the Cape Ann League All- Conference team after batting .378 with 3 home runs, 24 RBI with 7 doubles, 4 triples and scoring 16 runs. She led the team in every offensive category except batting where she ranked second.

"It's not always about power with Brittney," said Cabral- Pini. "When she needs to lay down a bunt, she does a great job sacrificing. She doesn't care how she gets on base. She can hit the ball like crazy. When you hit third or fourth in the line-up, you tend to put more pressure on yourself, well at least she does. She takes what the defense gives her. If the third baseman is playing back, she'll drop down a bunt or she'll try to get on with a single.

Wilmington finished the regular season with an»'U-9 record, before trouncing Newburyport 10-1 in the first round of the tournament and then finishing out the season with a 6-1 second round loss to Tewksbury.

"That was really exciting because we hadn't made states the previous two years. It was really exciting that we made it in Audrey's first year, and then we won a game and made it to the second round," said McLaughlin. "I thought we could have beat TeVksbury since we did earlier in the season, but hopefully we can get back this year and do even better.

"I think maturity level had a lot to do with it," she continued about the team getting to post-season play. "As you get older and have more experience, you start to play against

HOME NEWS HERE.COM TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2009 SP7W

Male Athlete of the Year: Caleb Rogers ByMlKI Sports Correspondent

Wilmington High senior Caleb Rogers can truly be called a man for all seasons. There seemed to be no rest for the three sport star for the Wildcats this past year, as he dominated the winter, spring and fall seasons with outstanding performances in winter and spring track as well as being a part of the the sectional finalist Wildcats soccer team.

Rogers was part of an undefeated 4 x 400 winter track team that set school, CAL and state records in the winter while winning the Division 3 state championship, was part of another outstanding CAL championship 4 x 400 relay team in the spring, while also having outstanding individual success in both seasons.

And finally, he capped off the 2009 calendar season by helping to lead the Wildcats soccer team to their first sectional final in ten years, scoring 11 goals and being named to the CAL All-Conference team, as well as being named as an Eastern Mass All-Star.

It is for these reasons that Caleb Rogers, a National Honor Society member at WHS, has been selected as the Town Crier's 2009 Male Athlete of the Year.

As great a year as Rogers had, the humble star did not see this honor coming to him. Much like his reaction to being named as a CAL All- Conference selection, and to the Eastern Mass All-Star team, Rogers handled the news of his honor very grace- fully.

"I was pretty shocked," Rogers said. -,I did not see this coming at all with so many great athletes in our school. It is a great honor."

Rogers added that several people deserve a lot of recognition on the behalf of the award.

"My mom has been to every single track meet I have been in, even the ones at the Reggie Lewis Center. She comes in and pays her money and stays for the whole meet just to see me run my 60 seconds," he said before being asked about backyard games as a child, "We played a lot of soccer growing up. My dad would play sometimes too.

"(My coaches too). (Steve) Scanlon is a great guy and really knows his stuff. It was great playing for him. It doesn't matter who he has on the team he will make them good. (Bob) Cripps is great too. I like him. He is totally

different than Scanlon, but they both find ways to win."

Eleven is enough The recently concluded soc-

cer season is one that Wilmington High fans will not soon forget, as the team went through a remarkable 15-0-3 regular season with Rogers, a forward/midfielder being one of the main reasons for the success with his 11 goals on the campaign.

It was a season that most players and teams only dream about, but Rogers and the rest of his teammates got to experience it first hand and what made it most special for him was going through it with a group of players he had come to have great faith in.

"We had a great team. It was just a great bunch of guys," Rogers said. "We hung out together almost every day after practice and we just had a real great chemistry. We were all just great friends and we loved to win together."

And as for his 11 goals and his selection to multiple post season all-star teams, Rogers once again credits the team for his individual success.

"With Nick (Godzyk) and Chris (DiCecca) in the middle and working with Andy Owens things just seem to work out with kids like that," Rogers said. "And with (Michael Murphy's) big throws it's hard not to score 11 goals." Soccer coach Steve Scanlon

agrees that it was the efforts of the entire team that made the Wildcats so successful this season, but he also knows that the team was much better because they had Rogers.

"Caleb is a real good, all- around player. He's got good skills, good speed, great endurance, he can defend, he can play midfield and he's just a real versatile player," Scanlon said during the regular season. "He's strong and he's just a real good kid. The kids have a lot of respect for him and he's just one of those kids you want on your team."

And Rogers got to play with some more great players once he got to the CAL and Eastern Mass All-Star games. While he would always prefer playing with his teammates and the great skill they brought to each game, he also enjoyed playing in these special games.

"It was great to get to play with the best kids in the league and then the best kids in all of Eastern Mass." Rogers said. "It was an honor just to be on the same

field as them." Make no mistake Rogers

earned his way on to those All-Star teams. He had been a good player for the Wildcats in the past, but it was through his own efforts that he improved to the point of being voted one of the top six players in the league by the opposing coaches which is an automatic selection to the Eastern Mass. game.

"He's improved because of his strength - I mean he's a big strong kid who never stops working. He has that engine that never stops," Scanlon said. "He can play at a really high clip and you could have him go for the full 80 minutes if you needed him too. He's just been a real good player for us.

"I think Caleb was a top notch captain for us. He was really respected by his teammates and the coaches. You

won't meet a nicer kid. He's just an all-around student- athlete and a great kid. He always had the team first."

About team work Rogers closed out his junior

year with a tremendous season as part of the Wildcats spring track team. The 4 x 400 team of Rogers, Jon Parrella, Nick Folk and Jimmy DiNuccio, coming off their record breaking winter season, continued their remarkable run by going undefeated once again in the regular season against every Cape Ann League team they faced. In addition the four of them also won the relay title at the CAL Championship Meet in a time of 3:30.01, beating their closest competitors by a huge margin of ten seconds.

The foursome also finished third in the Division 3 state

meet in a time of 3:27.31 and was 19th at the All-States in a time of 3:34.71.

Rogers was also part of the 4 x 200 team that finished second at the Massachusetts State Track Coaches Association Relay Meet in a time of 1:32.68,. He also had some great individual success as well, finishing third in the CAL Meet in the 400 with a personal best time of 51.8 seconds and seventh in the same event at the Division 3 state meet in a time of 51.89 seconds.

For Rogers and his 4 x 400 teammates, having a not just successful, but undefeated season in the spring season after having such an amazing winters season was very important.

"We didn't want anyone to take us down," Rogers said. "In the regular season meets you want to show you have still got it and are still serious about the 4 x 400, and then we were also able to do well in the league and state meets. The spring is a lot more intense and there is a lot better competition."

For Rogers coach Bob Cripps, seeing him as part of a hard working group that wanted to keep getting better came as no surprise.

"It's his work ethic that has made him so successful," Cripps said. "Even in practice every day he works hard. Anything I ask him to do he will do it, because he is always trying to improve."

State Championship never gets old

It was Rogers first season of the year in 2009 that may have been his best. Not only did the then junior have some great individual success by putting together a tremendous regular season in the 1,000 meters, and finishing second in the CAL meet with a person best time of 2:40.05, he was part of a 4 x 400 relay team that made school, league and state history.

As the only junior in the relay along with Folk, Parella and DiNuccio, Rogers ran the third leg of the relay and ran it to perfection throughout the regular season as the group was never threatened. That group ran even better in the post season with a second place finish at the Mclntyre Relays and a league championship at the CAL meet in a time of 3:30.06.

But those races were merely a prelude to their historic day at the Division 3 Sate Championship Meet when

they captured the state title and set a new state record with a time if 3:28.39 to edge a very talented Randolph squad.

Rogers was the key cog in the victory as the Wildcats trailed in the race until he grabbed the baton. By the time he was done and was handing the baton off to DiNuccio, he had given the Wildcats a 15-yard lead with a personal best time of 51.2 second for his leg.

"He ran an incredible race," Cripps said at the time "He took off like he was shot out of a cannon and he never let up and he put us in great position to win."

It was just the latest example in career filled with coming through with peak performances at the most important time. Rogers felt he was just doing his part to help his team win, and he was not about top let his team be denied in their biggest race of the year.

"I just wanted to go as fast as I could because I knew if I gave Jimmy the lead we would have a good chance to win," Rogers said. "Everyone was having a great race, and I did not want to let the team down after all we had been through so we just knew we had to get it done"

One other aspect of winning the state title and setting the record that was not lost on Rogers or his teammates was the sense of making history. The group knew going in to the race that they had a chance to do something they could remember the rest of their lives and they made sure they did it.

"Knowing we had set all of those records was a great feeling," Rogers said. "It was great to be a part of that. And it was great to do it with that group of guys because we had a lot of fun doing it."

As Cripps sees it, it was also great to see a person of Rogers caliber be a part of . such a record. Of course Rogers is a great athlete, but Cripps sees him as an even better person.

"He is a very good young man. The kind every mother would like to have" Cripps said. "He is thoughtful and he works with the other kids on the team. He is not arro- gant at all about his abilities. which is nice because sometimes kids as talented as he is can let it go to their heads. He is a really great kid."

girls who are younger than you and it's different because you're the,one who has more experience than them, instead it being the other way around. We knew as a team what we were doing and we all knew what we wanted and we went out and did it."

The Wildcats finished the season with 12 wins, led by the solid hitting by McLaughlin and Crannell, some great defense by Bri Parow, and the good pitching by both Chelsie Babcock and Tori Lord. McLaughlin was asked about the difference of catching two different pitchers.

"I've been playing softball with Chelsie since I was in fourth grade so I've always been catching her so it's always been a lot of fun competing with her in little league, and then coming to high school, and we also play in the summer together," she said. "So I've always been so used to Chelsie, but with Tori it was a whole new experience because I had never caught her before, but it was good."

Tackling a tough one On a cold October night, the

Wildcats varsity girls soccer team was defeated by Triton and that loss ended the team's chances of qualifying for the state tournament. When the final whistle blew

the entire team really had a hard time grasping the idea that a team full of potential, for whatever reason didn't play to full expectations and the season and the careers for all of the seniors was over.

"That was horrible," she said. "I remember just thinking that as a captain I didn't do what I was supposed to do. Our goal as a team was to make it the states and go far in the state tournament and obviously that didn't happen, and when it didn't happen it was definitely crushing."

McLaughlin was one of the team's forwards and ended as the team's top goal scorer for the second year in a row. But the main problem to this year's team was lack of scoring, whether it be struggling to get the ball to the forwards, or the forwards struggling to finish off their chances. After a while that seemed to really bother a lot of the players.

"There was a lot of pressure," she said. "I mean going into every game I kept saying OK I have to do this, or I have to set a good example for the younger kids to step up, to be a leader, to get the ball rolling, so when I did- n't score or didn't help the team win, it was really frus- trating."

The Wildcats finished with a 5-7-6 overall record, falling one win away from qualifying. The team was loaded

with seniors, who McLaughlin said have played together for such a long time. That she added is the biggest reason why it was so difficult to walk away when the season was over.

"We have played together since we were in third grade," she said. "So this season was difficult but we still had fun and that's all that really mat- ters. We were a better team when we came off the field.

"When we were little, that's who we hung out and all of us have remained very close friends ever since. We did have some conflicts in the previous years but this year we all got together because we knew it was our last year playing together as seniors and we knew what we wanted and we wanted to make it a fun year."

McLaughlin leaves the soccer program as the 9th all- time scorer with 26 goals and 10 assists. She was a league all-star two years and was voted to the Cape Ann League All-Conference squad this past fall.

"Brittney is an excellent all- around athlete" said Hendee. "As a soccer player, she com- bines speed, intensity, skill, and a strong understanding of the game every time she steps on the field. She is a motivating leader and caring teammate with high expectations of herself and the team;

she was an outstanding captain. She has always strived to improve herself as a player, even though she has started for the varsity team since her freshman year.

"She has been our leading scorer for the past two years, CAL All-Star last year, CAL

All-League (top 16 players in the league), Eastern Mass Division II Second Team selection, and team MVP this year. Brittney has gotten better and better every year, and I don't think she has reached her full potential. I see her as being

a successful college player as well."

And there's certainly nothing boring about Brittney McLaughlin's high school accomplishments and the future she has in college, as an athlete and as a nurse-to- be.

SP8W TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2009 HOME NEWS HERE.COM

Coach of the Year: Jodi MacKenzie By JAMIE POTE

Sports Editor No matter how many times

it's been said or written, the facts remain that this year's Wilmington High School Field Hockey team's run is a story for the ages, a classic tale such as 'Twas a Night Before Christmas'. And in this tale, Santa gave the town of Wilmington a great gift, named Jodi MacKenzie, who completely turned the program around, having the team's best season since 1992, when she was in elementary school.

The second-year head coach led the Wildcats to an incredible season. The Wildcats finished the regular season with an 12-3-4 record, posting the most wins from any team dating back to 1992. That was the last time any team won a' state tournament game, and this year's 'Cats knocked off Swampscott, 1-0, on a cold November night in front of the home crowd, before losing in the next round to a very good Watertown team.

Wilmington finished the season posting a 13-4-4 overall record, and three of their losses came against teams that had a combined record of 53-1- 6 this season. All of which came after the team finished with a 3-13-4 record last year in her first year at the helm, and having just 11 combined wins in the previous five combined seasons. Thus this year's Town Crier Coach of the Year was a very easy and obvious choice, as MacKenzie is just the second female to win the award since its inception dating back to 1994.

"Jodi is extremely hard working and organized,'' said WHS Athletic Director Ed Harrison. "For a game that's hard to follow, she makes it fun for her team and the fans. She has brought the program back and I think she has done an outstanding job."

Having that knack Jodi MacKenzie grew up in

Wilmington, and played sports

her whole life. Her older brother Scot was a talented hockey player at WHS in the early 1990s, and Jodi was a rink rat always watching his games, always running around the rinks. Jodi followed some of Scot's traits as a goal scorer - he did it on the ice, and she did it on the field. She was a three-sport athlete at WHS. While she earned varsity letters and was a contributor on the softball and indoor track teams, her real sport was field hockey.

"Playing at WHS was a great experience for me," she said. "We had so much fun. I always tell the girls (on this year's team) how close we were as a team (when I played). And although there were a number of different groups of friends, when we got on the field we just clicked. We really did have so much fun. And I became really good friends with a lot of people from playing sports here in Wilmington."

Jodi took her speedy legs and goal scoring abilities with her to Endicott College where she continued to play the game she loves.

"The funny part about playing at Endicott College is that we had so many people from Wilmington on the team,"she said. "There was Deana Ward, Christina Peters, Julie Gillis, Julie Yentile and myself, and I guess we just couldn't let our past from WHS leave us so we just decided to continue to play together in college We were known as the Wilmington girls up there. We traveled in packs and we had a really good time in college I would do anything to do it all over again."

From the time she played at WHS and then at Endicott College MacKenzie had her share of press clippings. She was a very good field hockey player here at WHS, and now she's become a very good coach here at WHS which is apparent with a certain following.

"It is really funny how my

family followed this season," she said. "In the past, they had followed it through the newspapers, and definitely brought up some not so hot games up at the dinner table But this year, my mother (Lois) even made it to a game My brother, who likes to pre- tend that he doesn't care, would sure comment on a weekly basis, but even he was impressed (with our season this year)."

He should be And so should everyone else.

Newcomer at ease There were many stars on

this year's field hockey team. Liz Crannell was voted to the All-Conference team and as a Lowell Sun First Team All- Star. The team's defense played spectacular all season long, and the forwards showed huge improvement, and the team's skill level, teamwork and overall dedication and commitment to the team and the game was an obvious com-

plete make over from years past. But one of the many great stories from this past year's season was Nicole Luz, who was a first year player, who only joined the team because the team needed a goalie and was urged on by members of the team. She was asked about what her season was like playing for MacKenzie

"Being new to field hockey it was hard to be introduced to a new coach," she said. "At first Jodi was a little intimidating and I was a little nervous for the tryouts. But after the first tryout I came to the realiza- tion that she was not only going to be a great coach but a great role model. Jodi is the type of coach every athlete hopes to play for. She knows how to work a team to their best ability while creating great memories. Jodi is a person who not only pushed her athletes to strive for great- ness, but she believed in her athletes even when others did- n't."

Much like Joe Maddon did with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays a few years ago, MacKenzie had to get her players believing in themselves, into each other and into her system.

"It's hard to bring back a team who was so used to losing," said Luz. "But Jodi never looked at it that way. She always looked at our season as a fresh start and she never looked at past mistakes. Our whole team worked really hard to reach the success we accomplished in our 2009 season. And without Jodi we never would have made it that far."

Aces all season Obviously finishing with the

most wins the program has had since Bill Clinton served his first year in office there were a lot of highlights, memories and obviously great and dramatic victories.

"This season has been so rewarding, I really don't know how to describe how great it was," said MacKenzie "To see the girls come so far (was great), and we had fun at the same time lean only hope that the spirit and. the drive to become better continues over the years.

"I was blessed with such a great crew. We clicked as a team. I was very lucky to have such a great group of seniors too. They are what can make or break a team. They had heart, they had drive and most of all they wanted to win. Winning games definitely keeps the team spirit up. And now that they know how to win, I expect to be (near or on) top of the Cape Ann League again next year."

The quest all along was not only turn the program around, but reaching the state tournament seemed like a lofty goal, considering the team was coming off just three wins last year. But the Wildcats got off to a red hot start, stumbled for a very short time in the middle before picking up the pieces and taking over again

in the second half and qualifying for the Division 2 North sectional tournament. There, the Wildcats knocked off Swampscott at home before losing to Watertown.

"Besides having such an incredible record compared to the prior seasons, I think making it to the second round of the tournament was a great experience for the girls," she said. "It was so hard to see the hurt in the girls eyes on the way home from that Watertown game We actually sat in the parking lot for a good 20 minutes and soaked up those last moments. As a coach, it is really nice to see how much the girls really did- n't want the season to be over. I actually have some girls that just won't give their uniforms back because they are still trying to drag out the connection to the season. It's nice to have such a great group of girls. I really lucked out. I'm really going to miss this year's seniors.

"And the support we received from the town, the school, the Cape Ann League my friends and my family, was just so awesome It reminds me why I'm such a townie and why I'm so proud of it."

MacKenzie who was also voted the Cape Ann League Coach of the Year, certainly left her mark with one of her seniors, who says she'll always remember the magical three months as a member of the WHS Field Hockey team;

"You know a coach is great when every single one of her athletes would do anything to make her proud," said Luz. "Jodi is a coach that I only had for one season but she gave my team and myself a season that we will never forget. And that is what makes a great coach, which is what Jodi is and what she will continue to be With her coaching the field hockey team, the program will continue to strive and improve"

Community Blood Drives Local Realtors at Century 21

Spindler & O'Neil in North Reading and their Wilmington Division, known as Century 21 Starwood have announced two community Blood Drives in honor of their friend. North Reading busi- nessman and resident, Larry Dyment.

Tne Blood Drives will be held in conjunction with Mass General Hospital's Blood Donor Center, on Tuesday January 5th from 9am to 2 pm, at 247 Main Street, Route 28, North Reading and on Thursday January 7th, at 299 Main Street, Route 38, Wilmington.

According to Broker/Owner Dave O'Neil "Although Larry is well known for his participation in many community activities, this is just our way of saying thanks to Larry and his wife Judy, who over the past 5 years, have helped us raise in excess of $50,000 for Easter Seals. Each year we host the Parade Of Homes, both in Wilmington and North Reading, showcasing spectacular features in homes that are not for sale, for a donation that goes to help Easter Seals provide services for dis- abled adults and children. The Dyments have participated both as business advertisers and even showcasing their personal residence, and we appreciate all of their sup port."

MGH's state of the art, 40 ft. long bloodmobiles are completely self contained buses. Inside are two sound proof medical history booths, four blood donation beds and a refreshment area. Each bloodmobile is staffed with a nurse, phlebotomists and the driver. Each bloodmobile collects 56 units of blood during a six hour time frame. By using the bloodmobiles, the total donation time is just 30 minutes per person.

Everyday, people of all ages and backrounds need blood. You can donate whole blood if you are in good health and feel well, are at least 16 years of age, weigh at least 110 pounds, have not had dental work in the past 24 hours, have eaten recently and have a photo id. You will be temporarily unable to donate if you are pregnant or less than 6 weeks postpartum, have taken antibiotics less than 48 hours prior to the donation, have low iron levels in your blood.

The blood drive will be on an appointment basis and you can schedule a time by contacting Century 21 Spindler & O'Neil at 978-664-2100 or Century 21 Starwood at 978- 657-8444. For more details on donating blood with certain medical conditions, you can visit www. massgeneral. org/bloodd onor.

Happy 70th birthday Rocco's Restaurant: a Wilmington institution

Want a large pizza for 70 cents? Bv STEPHEN BJORK

WILMINGTON - This Sunday, Rocco's Restaurant will be celebrating its 70th year of business. The DePasquale family will be welcoming friends with a special "throwback" menu in effect from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. that will include some

incredible deals. The man who started it all,

Rocco DePasquale, St, came to this country in search of the American Dream in 1914. How appropriate then, that in 1940 he opened what has become a Wilmington institution and landmark on this country's birthday.

It was no easy task for DePasquale to achieve. He arrived in the United States at just about 14-years old with no family, according to his grandson, Chuck DePasquale.

"He slept in the basement of a bakery to survive," said Chuck.

Historical Cancer Prevention Study registration completed Local effort to help American Cancer Society research is a success

WILMINGTON The American Cancer Society recently held a Cancer Prevention Study -3 (CPS-3) registration in Wilmington. One of only five sites here in Massachusetts, Wilmington was chosen because of the tremendous support and success with their local Relay For Life. A stand-out in Relay participation, organization and fund raising results, the town's efforts in CPS-3 were another success. Twelve local volunteers staffed four-stations in the registration tent at the Wilmington High School field during this year's Relay For life. The successful CPS-3 drive was led by local resident Tom Ceres. His passion and energy were behind every part cf it as 149 people completed the registration

process. Ceres explains humbly how

impressed he is by the other 11 volunteers he recruited. "Each one of them was either a cancer survivor or had been directly impacted by another's cancer." But anyone who knows Ceres or his situation is impressed by him as well. He watched his daughter battle and, thankfully, survive cancer. "One thing you never want to hear as a parent is your child has cancer."

When the American Cancer Society invited Wilmington to support the cause, he was eager to lead the project. But he knows he did not do it alone and is quick to thank the volunteers. Helping Ceres were Sally Sorrentino, Nancy Sullivan, Leann Otis,

Gustafson heads to Haiti By DANA BIJRNHAM

WILMINGTON - Julie Gustafson, Wilmington High School Class of 2010 graduate, has found a unique way to mark the end of one phase of her life and the start of a new one Although she heads to college at the end of the summer like many of her fellow grads, before she does that, she will be boarding a plane to Haiti next week for what purports to be a life-changing experience

Through Monadnock Bible Conference (MBC) in Jeffrey,

NH, where she has attended both winter and summer camp for six years, Julie will be part of an endeavor called Bridge Builders, short-term work and medical teams that travel to Haiti and the Dominican Republic to bring help to the poor. Well-known in Haiti, the Bridge Builder teams are affectionately called "blueberries" by the Haitians because of the blue T-shirts they wear while in the country.

According to their website "Monadnock has been spon-

soring short-term work teams to Haiti and the Dominican Republic to provide Christ centered ministry and physical relief to the poor since 1983. So far [they] have sponsored 120 teams with over 2,500 team members. Work projects over the years have included churches, schools, hospitals, clinics and orphan- ages. The teams also have opportunity to visit mission and relief projects and minis- ter to the Haitian people by personal testimony, preach-

ing, music, children's programs, and drama, depending on the team skills."

Each year at camp, Julie would see the most recent video about other teams that had gone to Haiti, and hoped to one day go herself, but always hesitated. This year, she felt that she was ready, and will be part of team number 129; a group of 18 people and two Haitian translators.

Julie had to submit an application, and once she was accepted into the program, had to come up with almost $1,400 in order to pay for an orientation program, airfare, meals, lodging and a contri- bution toward the materials for the project. In order to raise funds, she sent out letters explaining her need and her purpose to many different people; recently Julie found out that her trip has been fully-funded through anony- mous donations as a result of

her efforts. This past president of the

National Honor Society will be attending Messiah College in Grantham, PA where she plans to major in psychology and with thoughts of eventually having a career in youth counseling. Julie's years as a teacher at her karate school, the Academy of Traditional Karate here in Wilmington, have readied her for her time in Haiti, where she will be helping to run a Vacation Bible School at a church in Les Cayes where more than

• 200 children are expected to attend. She will also spend part of her time helping out at the MBC-sponsored orphanage, Redeemers Child, in Port au Prince Redeemers Child is an orphanage that rescues orphans from the streets of Haiti.

As proof of her dedication, Julie submitted to the multiple shots that were required as precautions for her time in

Haiti, even though she hates shots, and while there - since she lost a bet to a friend who was part of an earlier Bridge Builder team - has promised that she will try goat at least once as part of her supper, just as he had.

While she may not be looking forward to the goat, Julie is looking forward to the part of her trip in which she will help out at Redeemers Child orphanage, packing bags with rice and beans to be distributed to those in need. The bags she will be packing are of special significance: through an effort termed "Love in Motion," MBC campers, Julie included, buy and decorate bags each year that are then sent down to Haiti with Bridge Builder teams, packed, and distributed. This year, Julie says, "Now I actually get to see where it goes."

funding for the Wilmington landmark.

The house was built by William Butters, who served on the first board of selectmen in Wilmington in 1730. His father, Will Butter, had settled about 100 yards away from the existing structure in 1665 or so, near the corner of Chestnut Street and Mill Road. At the time, Chestnut Street did not exist, and Mill Road was a path coming down the hill from what is now Burlington. Will Butter is believed to have been the first settler in what is now Wilmington.

In the spring of 2005, the Historical Commission first learned that the property was in jeopardy. At Wilmington's Annual Town Meeting on April 22, 2006 citizens voted overwhelmingly (225 to 8) in favor of purchasing the Butters farmhouse to save it from destruction or from being moved from its existing location at 165 Chestnut Street. The First Period home (circa 1682) is Wilmington's second oldest residence

The Wilmington Historical Commissioh was able to obtain a $70,000 grant from the MPPF, and through the efforts of Representative James Miceli and State Senator Bruce Tarr, the Town of Wilmington received a legislative appropriation of $450,000 to purchase the historic farmhouse and the surrounding property. The property also holds historic significance as the discovery site of

It's Your Money by Joyce Brisbois

NAMING NAMES

No matter what your will says, your assets are going to go to the listed beneficiaries on your IRA or other retirement plans, your insurance policy, even a checking or bro- kerage account. One benefit may be that those assets do not have to go through probate. But don't forget those accounts when you write your will.

Who are your beneficiaries? They can be individuals, trusts, even charities. When leaving assets to a minor child, it's usually wisest to set up a trust to manage the money; otherwise a bonded guardian must report to the court each year. A trust also offers some control over the disposition of the assets after your death.

Naming a spouse as beneficiary of a retirement account means the assets can be rolled over into an IRA. But be sure to name someone or the assets may go into your estate, taxable much sooner.

Important, keep beneficiaries named specifically. A policy left to "my wife" years ago might go today to an "ex" less beloved.

Let us help you keep control of your assets and trim taxes where possible Talk to the tax and finance people at Joyce K. Brisbois, C.P.A.

The $450,000 appropriation enabled the Town to purchase the property at no cost to Wilmington taxpayers. After the historic property was saved, the next challenge was raising funds to cover the extensive restoration and preservation efforts. Local businesses, organizations and residents donated funds to help the cause.

Much of the ensuing three and a half years have been taken up with the work of establishing its authenticity and securing grant money for renovations.

In 2007, the Historical Commission hired a consul- tant specializing in first period homes to conduct a historical structures report. The report is critical in serving as a guideline for work to be done

Three centuries has taken its toll on the home and much work is needed to structurally restore the property. The scope of the project includes repairs to the stone foundations, repairs/replacement of deteriorated structural members, partial rebuilding of the front wall, repair/replacement of first floor structure, and east facade restoration.

This past March, Galvin announced that the Massachusetts Historical Commission approved the Butters Farm, officially known as the Butters-Avery House in Wilmington, for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places during its March 10, 2010, meeting. The nomination was then submitted to the National Register of Historic Places at the National Park Service in Washington, DC, for final consideration and designation. The Massachusetts

Historical Commission is dedicated to preserving the Commonwealth's rich architectural, cultural, archaeo- logical, and historic resources," Secretary Galvin said in March. "Inclusion of the Butters-Avery House in

the National Register will help to recognize one of Massachusetts' oldest houses."

The Butters Farm is one of eight historic resources around the Commonwealth approved for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places by the Massachusetts Historical Commission at its March 10 meeting.

Secretary Galvin serves as Chairman of the 17-member board, which meets regularly and considers historic resources eligible for the National Register four times a year.

The National Register is the nation's official listing of significant historic resources. In Massachusetts, there are over 65,000 properties listed in the National Register. The Massachusetts Historical Commission has been admin- istering the National Register of Historic Places program in Massachusetts since 1966.

The Massachusetts Historical Commission is the office- of the State Historic Preservation Officer and the State Archaeologist. It was established in 1963 to identify, evaluate, and protect important historical and archaeo- logical assets of the Commonwealth.

w //lithe editor Grateful to the Fire Dept

Dear Editor, The Tarantino family would

like to thank the Wilmington Fire Department for their assistance and quick response to the Paramount Manufacturing building accident last week. Thankfully, my son is recuperating and doing well.

I am so grateful for the immediate response and for

the thoughtfulness of the Wilmington Firefighters and first responders. We are very grateful to everyone We appreciate their proficient, capable assistance and com- passion during this difficult time.

The Tarantino Family Paramount Manufacturing

Wilmington

Blatantly political Dear Editor, Recently the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts lost one of its Finest in a tragic accident. Upon watching the TV. media coverage of the funeral I was sickened by the sight of the Governor of Massachusetts in attendance

His presence was blatantly political, to say the least. He continually treats his State Police bodyguard badly. His immediate attacks on law enforcement upon taking

office are well-remembered. He pushed his flagmen agen- da and his repeal of the QUINN Bill to the max (attack on unions and Law Enforcement). His stated dislike for Police Officers in general (after the Professor Cox incident in Cambridge) is still remembered. Yet he shows up at the funeral of a Sate Police Sgt. HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?

Respectfully, BoB DiPasquale

You'll help a good cause Every penny raised at the store benefits the Wilmington Memorial Library. The store, run entirely by volunteers, is the Friends of the Wilmington

L'"-'

11 Memorial Library's fundraiser.

You'll get a good deal. All books for adults are priced $2 or less - 50 cents for mass market paperbacks; $1 for trade paperbacks; and $2 for hardcovers. All books for children are priced $1 or less - 50 cents for paperbacks and $1 for hardcovers.

You'll find a great place to recycle your gently used books. Donations may be dropped off when the store is open. Cashiers can give customers a receipt confirming the number of books donated. Customers must calculate the value of their donations for a tax deduction.

Wilmington Senior Topics The Department of Elderly

Services hopes this article finds everyone in good health and ready to start the summer. As we head into the summer months with the heat and sun we hope everyone can keep cool! Remember the best way to "beat the heat" is to drink large amounts of water even when you are not thirsty. While water is the best choice for refueling, any non-alcoholic, non-caffeinat- ed beverage - such as lemonade - can prevent dehydration and heat stress. Also, feel free to come to the Buzzell Seni»r Center and enjoy the air conditioner. Another form of relief is ice cream, and speaking of which; we are hosting an Ice Cream Social on Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 1:00PM. We will be serving Richardson's Ice Cream with all the fixings. Cost is $2.00 per person and sign up begins Tuesday, July 6, 2010.

WPI President Dennis Berkey.

Honorary degrees were con- ferred upon Schilling, Clark University President John Bassett (who received WPI's first honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree), Angela Belcher, Germehausen Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Biological Engineering at MIT, and Gordon B. Lankton, chairman of Nypro Inc., and founder of the Museum of Russian Icons, both in Clinton, Mass.

"Make a difference in other people's lives," Schilling told the students. "You will find yourself, almost every day of your life from today forward with a chance to change someone's life for the better. If you take nothing else from today, if you are a [Red] Sox fan who may feel that you owe this retired hobbled former pitcher a small slice of gratitude, that's what I would ask of you. Act on it, reach out to someone and help, reach out to someone and make their lives a little bit better when you see an opportunity to do so."

The Chairman's Exemplary Faculty Prize was also presented for the fourth time

during WPI's 2010 Commencement. The prize was established in 2007 through the personal philan- thropy of Donald K. Peterson '71, chairman of the WPI Board of Trustees. It recognizes faculty members who, as true exemplars of the university's highest aspirations and most important qualities, excel in all relevant areas of faculty performance. One prize, in the amount of $10,000, was awarded . this year to WPI Computer Science Professor Elke Rundensteiner.

"In respect of the difficult world you are about to tackle, and especially in light of the economic calamities of the past two years," President Berkey told students, "let me recall the words of one of my predecessors, Admiral Wat Tyler Cluverius, the seventh president of WPI, who presided during the difficult days of World War H. Speaking to WPI students in 1945, following the war's end he said 'Perhaps this is the last time you will have to rebuild a world.' Unfortunately for us all, the world again needs rebuilding. Fortunately, you are well prepared for that ominous chal-

lenge, and we know you will play a great part in the rebuilding that must be done."

Founded in 1865 in Worcester, Mass., WPI was one of the nation's first engineering and technology universities. WPI's 14 academic departments offer more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science, engineering, technology, management, the social sciences, and the humanities and arts, leading to bachelor's, master's and PhD degrees. WPI's world-class faculty work with students in a number of cutting-edge research areas, leading to breakthroughs and innova- tions in such fields as biotech- nology, fuel cells, information security, materials processing, and nanotechnology. Students also have the opportunity to make a difference to communities and organizations around the world through the university's inno- vative Global Perspective Program. There are more than 25 WPI project centers throughout North America and Central America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and Europe.

Daisy Troop 63124

..A year in review The Daisy Scouts of Troop

63124 ended a very successful year of community activities on Monday, June 14, with a party at Magic Brush Pottery followed by a pizza party. Plans for next year were discussed based on the many community activities the girls participated in during the 2009/2010 year with hopes for even more success!

In October the Scouts visited Wilmington's Safety Building and learned about the many safety programs performed by the police and fire departments. They toured an ambulance and were able to see and touch the many pieces of equipment. The fire- men were so thrilled with the baked goods that the girls brought that they escorted them upstairs to see their living quarters.

In November the scouts solicited donations of food for the food pantry and many boxes of food were packed by the scouts and delivered to the food pantry.

In December the scouts sang Christmas carols at a local nursing home and had the opportunity to visit the Reading Cooperative branch in Wobum and learned many interesting facts concerning money and even got a chance to go into the vault. The bank gave each girl a gift filled with lots of great educational material along with a big, pink piggy bank! In addition, Miss Cathy came and taught the scouts how to make lovely necklaces that were then given as gifts.

January found the scouts painting and preparing their derby cars with their parents for participation in the local Powder Puff Derby. One of Troop 63124's girls placed 3rd!

February found Miss Cathy making a return visit to teach the scouts how to make lovely painted card covers for whatever cards they would choose to make and place inside

In March the scouts under- took the planting of tomato and pepper plants to be given at a later date to the food pantry for families to enjoy

the accomplishments of growing food for their own consumption. In April the scouts did their

first swap with a troop in NJ. They sent pins with a Baldwin Apple attached. For Patriot's Day they placed flags at Wilmington's Memorial Park.

In May the weather improved and the scouts became very busy. They cleaned part of Rotary Park and planted 32 plants. They also were part of the placing

of flowers on the Veterans' grave before the Memorial Day ceremonies. On the 31st they were happy and proud to participate in Wilmington's Memorial Day Parade

The Daisies, their leaders and their parents would like to extend their thanks and appreciation for the assistance of the Town's staff, Reading Co-operative Bank's staff, and all who assisted them in having a wonderful and memorable full year.

Two Gents... As we all know Sonic is here. My son was hired

by Sonic along with a number of Wilmington students for "summer jobs." I believe that Sonic wanted themselves to look good by hiring within our town, a community P. R. move

My son worked two shifts and was NEVER called back. They never called or emailed him to say, "We don't need you anymore." They let him believe that he had a summer job. It is my understanding that a majority of the Wilmington students have been treated the same way, and that Sonic is using employees from their Route 1 location. Now all the summer jobs are taken. But they expect us all to eat there. Not me! We have a great town, great hard working people I love to buy and sell within my town.

Figure and Form local artist featured in Newburyport art exhibition

NEWBURYPORT - An art exhibition featuring the work of Tewksbury's Diane T. Francis will be held by the Newburyport Art Association in the Laura Coombs Hills Gallery in Newburyport from July 8 through July 14. A reception will occur on July 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Works on paper, painting and sculpture by Diane Francis represent personal experiences from family history and childhood memories. The monoprints, pastels and paintings are developed using subtle color and textural rela- tionships intended to create a sense of order and quiet reflection. Her examination of the ordinary by experi- menting with form, color and composition creates a lus- cious layered surface.

The sophistication brought to these objects through her

use of vibrantly dense colors, imagery and elegant artistry is evidence of this artist's commitment to the process of art making.

Diane Francis' approach to sculptural forms is much more classical in nature. Her knowledge of anatomy and skeletal structure is present in all the pieces. The standing, seated and reclining fig- ures capture the human condition beautifully. The work comes alive through her mas- tery of forms.

Diane Francis was bom and raised in Brockton, Massachusetts. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of Massachusetts and a Masters of Art Education from Lesley University. She teaches at the Carroll School and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. She lives and works in Tewksbury, Massachusetts with her husband and two daughters. Her pastels, mono-prints, paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in a number of gal- leries and art festivals winning major awards. Her artwork is in many private col- lections.

The artist will be demon- stration woodblock printing on both Saturday JulylO, 2010 and Sunday July 11,2010.

Tumble-a-thon to benefit Tucker girl

Farmers market survey

TEWKSBURY - On July 16, 2010, East Celebrity Elite Allstar Cheerleading Gym in Tewksbury and Southern New Hampshire Spirit Boosters will host a Tumble-A-Thon fundraiser benefiting the Bella Tucker Fund. East Celebrity Elite is a competitive cheerleading gym at which area athletes from many communities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire train and compete. Athletes from the gym's cheer teams will raise money through sponsor donations, and will commit to tumble continuously for three minutes, choosing any tumble skill they wish to do during this time. Area businesses and residents who wish to make matching donations, or other contributions to the Bella Tucker Fund with this fundraiser may do so by contacting Nicole Wallace (phone: 603) 486-4812 or email [email protected]. All donations are tax deductible, and 100 percent of funds raised by the event will be donated to the Bella Tucker Fund.

Bella Tucker is an 8-year- old girl who attends South School Elementary in Londonderry, New Hampshire and is a member of the Phantom Gymnastics team. Bella became ill with a near fatal infection on Easter Sunday. Doctors gave little hope for this third grader's survival, but after five days

in a coma she miraculously survived Streptococcus Pneumonia Sepsis with DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation).

Unfortunately, her survival from this infection was not without significant cost. The infection caused extensive tissue damage, and on April 27, 2010, Bella underwent quadru- ple amputation surgery and is currently facing an extremely long and hard recovery at Children's Hospital in Boston with extensive rehabilitation to follow, as she learns to live life without her limbs.

Fortunately, Bella has the love and support of her three older brothers and younger sister during these trying times. The family is suddenly faced with significant challenges, many of which can be eased with financial help. For example, their home in Londonderry will need extensive modifications to accommodate a wheelchair. Bella's mother, who is also her primary insurance holder, must be by her side during the extensive rehabilitation process and therefore she will be unable to work, causing the family to lose significant income Since her mother will be with her during ' this process, the family needs funds for daycare of their other children. She will be faced with medical challenges for the rest of her life.

Happy 70th birthday TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 2010 11 W

FROM PAGE 1

He went on to become one of the first pizza makers in Boston's North End and eventually opened his first restaurant in the location currently occupied by LaCascia's Bakery in Somerville before finally moving his business to Wilmington. He and his wife Angela ran the business

-downstairs and raised a family upstairs.

.. His third son, also Rocco (and for whom, incidentally,

.the restaurant was truly named), eventually took over the business in 1963 and 'raised his own family in a "house directly behind the restaurant.

"This restaurant was my -backyard, it's where we grew up," said Chuck. "As kids we used to come in to roll meatballs and to help make dough."

"; Rocco, Sr. insisted that every family member start at the ground floor and work

;.lheir way up. i _. "We started out by sweeping "the basement and then later

on we'd get to move up to washing dishes," said Chuck.

„' Chuck and his brother Matt are the current owners of the business, but it was through a step by step process that they learned the ropes at Rocco's.

"' The restaurant would often churn out as many as 300 piz-

^zas on a Friday or Saturday night in the 1960's and 1970s

^.before the heavy proliferation of pizza and sub shops came to the suburbs.

It was in the 1960's that the Wilmington Director of Health informed Chuck's father Rocco that he'd have

to get rid of his coal-fired oven due to health concerns relating to the burning of coal. The deep brick oven had been made from scratch by the hand of Rocco Sr. and was capable of holding more than 20 pizzas at a time. It was directly because of that oven, as a matter of fact, that Rocco's began its tradition of selling full "to-go" turkey dinners on Thanksgiving.

Even though the restaurant was closed for the day, he couldn't let the oven cool down too much. He would fit 20 turkeys into the big brick oven and then sell them to-go.

Meanwhile, the family's holiday dinner would be held right there in the restaurant.

The DePasquales did as they were instructed and dis- mantled the great coal fired brick oven in favor of a gas powered version.

Some twenty years later Bertucci's would enjoy a great deal of success marketing their unique "Brick oven cooked pizzas."

Running a seven day a week operation is a difficult propo- sition and the DePasquale family has worked hard to keep it going. More than once they've found themselves serving pizzas despite an untimely electrical black- out.

Chuck and Matt are the third generation of the DePasquale family to run Rocco's, and some members of the fourth generation are now on staff.

Rocco's Restaurant has sat there as a Wilmington landmark on Main Street through the administrations of 13 dif-

.determined that the culvert is undersized for the Martin's Brook and is part of the reason for the repeated flooding in that area and tributary area of Brown's Crossing.

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has tenta- tively awarded a $480,000 flood hazard mitigation grant to North Reading and Wilmington subject to the two towns signing a Memorandum of Understanding to address project authorization, project

.funding, and culvert mainte- .. nance The estimated project ;; total cost is $750,000. North ;: Reading is offering to cover • the local share of the project,

$270,000. Onusseit explained that the

culvert, many decades old, is • poorly designed and has '■ "many significant deficien- ■ cies." Flooding at the site also

affects the Brown's Crossing

Water Department Facility, causing over $100,000 in dam- ages in the May 2006 flooding alone.

"No question, this will be a huge impact on traffic," said Onusseit to Selectman Mike McCoy who noted the permitting would take time and construction would not likely start until next season.

The design and permitting phase of the project will do a hydro geological study to determine impacts on downstream neighborhoods in both Wilmington and North Reading, including the Hathaway Acres and Lucaya Circle neighborhoods.

"The town will not allow an increase in downstream flows above what can be handled by Martin's Brook without adversely impacting these neighborhoods," said Onusseit.

Town Counsel made changes to the draft MOU and the board unanimously passed a

ferent United States presi- dents and it is not unusual for the staff to be treated to married couples happily visiting the site, and telling the story, of their first date some 30,40, and even 50 years prior.

It has witnessed the com- ings and goings of countless restaurants and businesses on Main Street, and it appears Rocco's is still hitting its stride. Chuck and Matt have recently torn down their boyhood home at the back of the property to accommodate additional parking for guests.

"Why sit in your car to eat a burger?" Rocco's roadside sign recently asked, "Best burgers in town inside Rocco's."

Motorists frequently look for updates on Rocco's sign.

A couple of years ago Chuck and Matt prepared an April Fool's Day prank for passing motorists. On one side of the sign out front, they wrote, "Hooters coming soon." On the opposite side, written in reverse for the benefit of rear-view mirrors, the sign read, "April Fools!"

The DePasquales have worked hard over the years customizing the menu to accommodate the ever changing fashions of taste. Over the last several years a number of saute dishes, various salads, and additional lighter fare types of dishes have been added to the extensive menu.

"We're a lot more than just spaghetti and meatballs," said Chuck.

motion to move forward and have the Public Works Superintendent provide a copy of the MOU to North Reading.

Selectmen also discussed traffic at the intersection of Route 62 and Route 38, the matter having been raised by Selectman McCoy in a previous meeting.

McCoy praised the police department for all their work with traffic enforcement, noting that the issues of traffic backing up along those corri- dors at peak travel times seemed more a result of out- of-sync signalization at lights along Main Street (Rt. 38).

In particular, the number of signalized intersections along Main Street has increased dramatically in. recent years. Most do not have left turn arrows, creating congestion along the narrow roads.

Police Chief Michael Begonis told selectmen that

much of the problem is an engineering issue. With 40,000 vehicles passing through the town center daily, officials rely on engineers to adjust lights based on traffic studies.

Onusseit commented that the intersection "has been a problem for decades."

During peak hours the lights are at a "failing level of service" and of late, seems to be getting worse. Recent work has revealed that the phasing of the lights is not working the way it was intended. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is aware and the solution should be "config- ured shortly."

Once the lights have been adjusted, should the congestion not alleviate sufficiently, town officials will look at altering the parking along the corridor, especially by the Post Office on Church Street.

Sheri Walsh, Diane Harvey, Darlene Kelley, Laura Coburn, Karen Noble, and Ann Murray. The staff was rounded out by his mother Eileen Ceres and sister Megan Ceres. They joined

: him from New Jersey. During the Relay For Life

opening ceremony, Ceres addressed the almost 1,000 people attending. He careful-

ly explained the importance of CPS-3. He told the crowd about the relatively simple and quick process. But the most important statement was made as he pointed to the cancer survivors seated in the stands behind him and told the crowd, "Do this for the people behind us. We can't forget them It's the least we can do."

The study will help researchers to understand the

lifestyle, behavioral, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer and to hopefully eliminate cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations. Men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who have no personal history of cancer are invited to join the study group. It requires completion of an ini- tial enrollment questionnaire and then periodic mail-in sur-

veys over the ensuing years. According to the American Cancer Society, CPS-3 is a critical update because this new study population will have environmental and lifestyle exposures that may be meaningfully different from previous populations.

Raise approved for Town Counsel

FROM PAGE 1 any increases. He added, however, that he felt the Ibwn Counsel deserved the raise

Chairman Lou Cimaglia noted that the $5,000 raise was equivalent to a 2 percent: increase

Tbwn Manager Mike Caira offered praise for Foskett and the firm, stating that the quality of service has unproved. He stated that he could be on the phone with counsel several times a day. <

Selectman Michael Newhouse stated that he had no objection to the raise stating that, "two percent we can handle"

Newhouse made the motion, which was seconded by Selectman Michael McCoy. The vote was unanimous.

One of the top achievements during the recent race for Selectmen, touted by both Newhouse and Cimaglia, was obtaining a flat rate contract for Ibwn Counsel services, rather than paying based on tollable hours. As such, the budget is stable and unusual costs are contained.

Irizany heading to Jr. Track Nationals

A local Wilmington resident and youth athlete, Frankie Irizany, recently qualified for the 2010 U.S.A. Track and Field (USATF) Junior Olympics. Irizarry_ qualified. in the Triathlon, a multi- event consisting of the high jump, shot put and 400 meter dash. The top two finishers qualified for the Junior Olympics and Irizarry was one of the two qualifiers. He jumped his personal best in the high jump and his 14'3" throw in the shot put was also a personal best and would have won the individual shot put event by almost three feet. Irizany struggled a bit in the 400, the last event of the day and contested in 90 degree heat, but he did well enough to qualify through to the junior Olympics. He qualified in the Bantam Division, the youngest division for athletes age 10 and under.

The Region 1 Qualifier meet was held at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine from June 27-29. Region 1 consists of athletes from New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

Dating back to the 1960's, the USATF Junior Olympic program has been the most visible youth athlete developmental program in the world. Nearly 70,000 youth athletes compete each year in the Junior Olympic Track & Field and Cross Country programs. Many of America's Olympians began as youth athletes, including stars such as Maurice Greene, Allyson Felix, Bryan Clay, John Godina, Deena Kastor, and Allen Johnson.

Through a series of progres- sional events consisting of

preliminary, Association, and Regional meets, athletes have the opportunity to advance to the National Championships in track & field. Irizarry's competitive season began in March with local meets all around New England followed by the New England Championships and ultimate- ly the Regional Championship this past weekend.

The 2010 USATF Junior Olympics will be held from July 27 through August 1 in Sacramento, California at Hughes Stadium, a 23,000 seat facility that has played host to the NCAA Track and Field Championships, United States Track and Field Championships and Olympic qualifying events. Irizany has been competing

in Track and Field for the past two seasons. In addition to track, he also plays football with Wilmington Pop Warner in the fall and basketball with the Wilmington recreation Department in the winter. Once the spring rolls around though, it is all about track. After attending his first track meet last season and winning the high jump in that first meet, Irizarry has been hooked on the sport.

In addition to three days a week of practice and meets on weekends, there is a lot of outside work that he does to be competitive. In order to compete in multi-events, you need technical training in both the jumps and the throws in order to be successful. The team that Irizarry competes for is based out of Amherst, New Hampshire so just getting to practice during the week entails a 45 minutes drive in each direction.

Qualifying for the Junior

Wilmington resident Frank Irizarry will be going to California to compete in the Jr. National Track-and-Field event.

Olympics and getting to compete against some of the best young track athletes has cer-

tainly been worth all of the time, work and effort.

Murray and Hayes tabbed as lacrosse scholarship winners The Wilmington Youth

Lacrosse Association (WYLA) recently awarded two $1,000 academic scholarships to Wilmington High School graduating seniors Eric Murray and Katelyn Hayes. Eric and Katelyn were both members of the Boys and Girls Lacrosse teams at Wilmington High School AND Eric is a former WYLA member. The scholarships were presented at the WYLA end of the year barbeque cookout, an annual event where players, coaches and families come together for some food and fun to wrap up the season. The scholarships were offered in memory of Paul "Scotty" McDougall, a coach and founding member of the WYLA.

"Scotty was so important during the process of getting the WYLA started" said Mike Leighton, current president of the WYLA. "He was a great coach, great with the kids, a great guy and a great friend.'' Scotty McDougall passed away on October 17, 2007. "It was so hard to lose Scotty. He meant so much to the kids and to the program."

Now, with the creation of the Scotty McDougall scholarship, the WYLA will be able to do even more to keep his memory alive

The WYLA received a significant number of scholarship applications from many qualified candidates. "We received a lot of excellent applications" said Frank Irizarry, a board member and Chair of the scholarship committee. "In the end though, Eric and Katelyn's applications stood out above all others." Originally, the scholarships were going to be offered in the amount of $500 each until Sheila McDougall decided to match the scholarship offers to double the value of each scholarship.

Katelyn Hayes is a recently graduated Wilmington student who is on her way to Quinnipiac University. Katelyn will be a student in the Quinnipiac School of Health Sciences enrolled in a six-and-a-half year program that will culminate with her receiving her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.

While at Wilmington High School, Katelyn was a member of the National Honor Society, Rotary Interact, Bread and Roses and she also competed for the Lacrosse, Soccer and Track teams. In addition to her work in school and in the community, Katelyn also worked as a volunteer with a local physical therapist working with physically and cognitively challenged children.

Eric Mmray is a member of the Wilmington High School class of 2010. Eric will be attending the University of Rhode Island in the fall and studying Mechanical Engineering with hopes of working in the defense industry some day. Eric was a member of the first Varsity Lacrosse team at Wilmington and he also participated in Soccer, Basketball and Track. In addition to his athletic endeavors, Eric was also a member of Model UN, Rotary Interact, Bread and Roses and DECA. Outside of his busy school schedule, Eric also served as a coach in the Wilmington Recreation basketball program, volunteered with TOPS Soccer and worked with the Pan-Mass bicycle race as well as the walk for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, an issue very important to Eric as he dealt with his families struggle against that dreaded disease.

The WYLA would like to congratulate both Katelyn and Eric for their hard work and dedication to the game of lacrosse and the community as a whole They are two excellent recipients for this new scholarship and they will certainly represent Scotty McDougall and the WYLA with class, excellence and dignity. The WYLA would also like to thank the donors who have contributed to the scholarship fund and especially to Sheila McDougall for both her donation as well as her input as a member of the selection committee. We hope to watch Katelyn and Eric's pursuits over the next few years and we look forward to receiving another group of excellent applications in 2011.

Letter to the Sports Editor

Great articles on Cripps

Dear Jamie: I'd like to congratulate

Coach Bob Cripps on the conclusion of his career as the track coach at Wilmington High School. He was a tremendous teacher and coach, and if there was anyone in the system who could fill Frank Kelley's shoes, it was him. Faced with the challenge of replacing somebody who means so much to the track program and the town, Mr. Cripps rose to the bell. Mike Kinney now faces the same challenge, and as someone who saw him in his first years as a teacher and coach at Wilmington, I'm confident that he, too, will be able to lead the track team to its goals.

I appreciate the kind words Mr. Cripps said about me in the article written in the paper two weeks ago. I ran for WHS partially during his brief first retirement, but it was not until

he un-retired (faced with the pressure of my history class) that my running career took off. Due to his guidance and inspiration, I was able to accomplish what I did in Wilmington, and what I learned about hard work under his coaching was instrumental in my accomplishments in my sport after graduating. For that I am extremely grateful.

Lastly, I'd like to com- mend you and the sports department for a series of well-written and well- researched articles two weeks ago to mark the occasion. You folks did a terrific job

Best Regards, Dan Vassallo

Wilmington Little League Round-Up

BY MIKE filANNATTASIO Sports Corrmpondmt

The AAA Reds won the AAA League Championship this past Tuesday by beating the Rays 11-3. The Reds beat the Rays 7-4 in the first game before the Rays came back and stole game two 7-6.

R was all the Reds in game three behind outstanding pitching of Camden Connor. Bryan O'Keefe came in on relief to bring the Reds the AAA Championship.

Lou Larffarello and Scott Edwards Jr. came up huge with base clearing doubles. The Rays got solid pitching by DJ Kenney and Chance Harper. Kyle Collins had three hits and Liam Soye had a triple to lead the Rays offense.

Scott Edwards was the manager of the Reds this season, and he said he had a terrific time coaching the club this season.

"The kids were awesome as they came together as a team," said Edwards, who has been coaching in Wilmington Little League Baseball for four years. "Their sportsmanship and competitiveness were great. They new they could always comeback, even when they were down in game. Every kid on the team was focused at the task at hand."

The roster for the club included players Jimmy Evans (P, 3B, OF), Brendan Thorpe (2B), Bryan O'Keefe (P, 3B, OF), Louie Larffarello (C, IB), Brad Aldrich (CF, IB, P), Jay Davy (SS, 3B), Scott Edwards Jr. (IB, 3B), Cameron Pickett (OF, 2B), Michael Germano (OF, P), Camden Connor (OF, P), David Robie (OF), and Kevin Laliberte (P, SS, OF).

AAA Mariners The AAA Mariners had

lots of fun this season and improved throughout every game. The players on the AAA Mariners included Steven Godfrey, Craig Venezia, David Bailey, Tommy Lawrensen, Mike Stanford, Vicky McDermott, Dan Judkins, Ricky Gottschalk, Brendan Daly, Fox Maxwell, Bobby Gostanian, and Jake Luz.

The manager was Jim Bailey and the coaches were Brian Daly and Ron Judkins. Bailey said he had a great time managing the team this year.

"I enjoyed watching the kids play good baseball," said Bailey, who has been coaching in the Wilmington Little League for two years. "They were interested, enthusiastic, and eager to play every game."

Godfrey, Venezia, and Bailey were named all-stars by their teammates. Lawrensen and Stanford split time between second base and the outfield and were outstanding. McDermott was strong behind the plate and led the team in on base percentage. Judkins, Gottschalk, and Daly each won games for the Mariners as pitchers.

The infield was anchored by Maxwell at first base. Gostanian led the team in steals and put outs from the outfield. Luz had two saves and several multiple hit games.

The AAA Mariners finished the season with a 6-8 record and were eliminated in first round of playoffs by Pirates 13-5.

Managing the team was Henry Belding and also helping the team out were assistant coaches Rob Brabant, Rich Luti, Joe Lupo, and Rick Proton.

The Pirates finished the season with a record of 2-12- 1, but Belding said the record does not reflect the effort given by all the players.

"Every game was gone into with a positive attitude and asked that everyone try their best and that's all that counts," said Belding. "I tried to make every game or practice fun for the kids. I enjoyed meeting some really nice kids along with their nice parents this season."

Belding added that reward- ed all the players on the team with a small trophy at the end of the season.

"This year the kids got bobble head baseball trophies and the looks on their faces when they were given the trophy is what I like," said Belding. "They can see that as a coach I enjoy winning but I also can handle losing."

Dancewicz and Pineau were the main contributors in the team's pitching and also in hitting. Brabant, Fanikos and Peterson were the main catchers. Fanikos and Brabant showed great improvement throughout the season helping them earn a spot on the all-star team.

Luti showed the most progress this season and this was his first year playing baseball but his willing- ness to learn earned him a spot on the all star squad. Sullivan who got injured towards the end of the season was well on her way to being an all-star. Luti's pitching and bitting improved more than anyone on the team.

Fanikos, Malone, Ouellette and Prior were next in showing improvement. They had great team chemistry and there was always a positive attitude throughout the season.

AA Astros The AA Astros became

more confident and played better baseball throughout each game The entire roster for the Astros included players Michael DuCharme, Kyle Penney, Jonathon Simmons, Michael Daley, AJ McKearney, Billy McEvoy, Tayton Kennedy, Paxton Cook, Dustin Smart, Justin Trevisani, Jonathon Gale, and Micheal Chrisemer. Bob DuCharme was the

manager of the AA Astros and has been coaching in the WLL for over six years. DuCharme coached the team this year alongside Joe Simmons and Stephen Daley. DuCharme also coached the Rookie Green Machien and the Major A's this season, and he said he had a great time this year.

"I enjoyed working with the kids and watching their skills improve with each game," said DuCharme. "We had two kids who had never played baseball before, and they both loved it. It is great when you know kids are going to continue to play the game."

Above the Triple A Royals gather together with their trophies, and below the Single-A Pirates enjoyed a fun season. (courtesy photos).

The manager of the team was Peter Marino and also helping coach were Steve Martin, Dave McCue and Greg Maynard. Marino said he had a tremendous time coaching the Pirates this season.

"What I enjoyed the most about coaching little league is seeing the kids at the end of the season and how they have improved from the beginning of the season," said Marino, who been coaching little league for three years.

"The kids really work hard at practice and when they put it all together in a game, it is rewarding to me and the other coaches. I hope the Pirates had as much fun as the coaches did.

AAA Pirates The AAA Pirates had a

blast this season and all the players worked hard from the first game to the last.

The players on the squad were Mike Dancewicz, Bret Malone, Mason Ouellette, Nicky Fanikos, Alex Fanikos, Anthony Luti, Dave Peterson, T.J. Prior, Shannon Sullivan, Tommy Brabant and Joe Pineau.

Single-A Pirates Throughout the season, the

players on the Single-A Pirates team learned the game of baseball while having fun. Because the A league is an instructional league, no standings and records are kept.

The roster for the Single-A Pirates included players Peter Marino, Riley McCue, Cam Martin, Ben Maynard, Devin Clerico, Harry Germano, Sean Devlin, Aditya Gautham, Noah Ferrer, Joey Dumoulin, Dylan Bresnahan, Nick Kullman, and Kyle Kenyon.

Single-A Reds The Single-A Reds

improved throughout every game and practice this season. The members on the team were Ryan Barrett, Carl Beatrice, Kyle Bolis, Anthony Celeta, Johnny Cox, Conlin Duffy, Nolan Fitzgerald, Nathan Frye, Billy Harty, Gavin Kelsey, Ian Proulx, Andrew Sullivan, and Danny Woods. Jay Barrett was the man-

ager of the Reds and has been coaching in WLL for three seasons. He coached the White Knights and Red Raiders in Rookie Ball the previous two years.

Barrett said he had a ball coaching the team this year.

"I love being able to teach the game to the kids, watch them learn it and then be able to execute what they have learned," said Barrett. "I also enjoyed just watching the kids have fun as that is what this league is really all about."

Barrett added that the team was prepared in every game this season.

"If we had playoffs, the Reds would have demol-

ished the field as my troops were battle tested and ready to take on the world."

Single-A Royals As the season got closer to

the end, every player on the single A-Royals team was more improved than when the season first started.

The players on the team were Joey Desario, Mark Leone, Tim Scalese, Mikey Champoux, Nolan Kane, Dennis Rooney, Coleman Kelly, Mike Fiorenza, Mike Fothergill, Aiden Coakley, Ankur Neogi, Ryan Collins, and Christopher Stokes.

Chuck Stokes coached the single-A Royals this season alongside assistant coach Mike Champoux.

"I think the most enjoyable thing I got out of coaching the boys this year was the noticeable improvement from each player from start to finish," said Stokes, who has been coaching WLLB for three seasons. As you would imagine the talent level at this age for the boys varied greatly. There were complete first timers and a few who have been playing quite awhile."

Stokes added that the team came really came together throughout the season.

"Each and every boy improved dramatically from the first practice to the last game," said Stokes. "I also noticed the boys bonded well. This is the first time in three years I noticed this and I believe their maturity is showing. Many new friendships were formed."

Single-A Mariners The Single-A Mariners had

a great season under Coach Rich McNamara. McNamara has been coaching WLLB for two seasons and said he had an awesome time coaching the Mariners this season.

"I enjoyed teaching kids

how to play and watching them get better as the season went on," said McNamara.

The players on the club included Richie McNamara, Scott Campbell, Tim Kippenberger, Robbie Farrell, Tucker Byrne, Nick Herlihy, Ben Wright, Jake Dugan, Joe Mclniey, Max Shapiro, Chris Spinazola, Kyle Bacon, Josh Fraser, and Ryan Butler.

Jr. League Cardinals After starting the season 0-

8, the Junior League Cardinals went on two win of their next five games to finish the season 2-11.

In the postseason, they needed to win three consecutive games from three different and very strong teams to win the championship. The Cardinals did just that, as it was an amazing turnaround for the team.

Dave Arbuckle was the manager of the Cardinals, and he said enjoyed watching the team not lose hope after a dismal start to the season.

"After going 0-8, it would have been easy to give up," said Arbuckle, who has been coaching in WLL for eight seasons. As the season went on, and we won a couple of games, you could just sense the guys' confidence growing. Players began making plays and getting on base in situations we were not doing earlier in the season."

The Cardinals beat the Giants 12-7 jn the championship game, and many players contributed on the squad.

Ryan McEvoy pitched well, giving up only four runs on four hits with seven strikeouts. Eli Jenning came in to pitch with two out in the fifth inning and got the win. In the top of the seventh, the team put their rally caps on and it worked

with Nick Raffi getting a huge lead-off double.

The next three batters got on base and then big hits by Tommy Gorman, Matt Penney and Cody Wile brought the inning's total to seven runs.

In the bottom of the seventh, Eli Jenning came out to try to shut down the Giants. After the Giants' lead off batter got on base, Matt Penny made a spectacular catch and doubled up the runner to effectively shut down a possible rally.

Arbuckle said the team got contributions from all the players on the club this season.

"At the beginning of the season, offensively we relied on the "big 3" of Eli Jennings, Ryan McEvoy, and Troy Vibert," said Arbuckle "We had strong pitching with those three players as well as with Nolan Arbuckle, Nick Raffi, Tommy Gorman and Matt Penney.

"Being seven deep with pitching helped us as the season wore on. Defensively we had solid, consistent catching with Nolan Arbuckle and Chris Jackson. All these guys were the quickest to adjust to the first year on the big field.

"As the season went on, the rest of the guys adjusted to the differences in the dis- tances of the infield throws, the length of the base paths and the strategy of the game"

Arbuckle added that many players stepped up for the squad in the postseason.

•In the playoffs, we had huge game saving plays from both Zack Smart and Cody Wile, consistent defense from Sean Piro and Ryan Adams and a live bat and great first base defense

in Nick Raffi. We peaked at the right time and I can hon- estly say, by season's end, we were 12 guys deep with everyone making plays, getting on base and contributing in some way or another."

The entire roster for the Cardinals included players Ryan Adams, Nolan Arbuckle, Tommy Gorman, Chris Jackson, Eli Jennings, Ryan McEvoy, Matt Penney, Sean Piro, Nick Raffi,Zack Smart, Troy Vibert and Cody Wile.

Jr League Braves It was an intense last post-

season game for the Junior League Braves. The club was playing the Cardinals and the Braves had the tying run on third base in the seventh inning with two outs.

A spectacular catch by the Cardinal's left fielder saved the game for the Cardinals and ended the season for the Braves. It was the only game the Braves lost in the postseason, after finishing the regular season with a tremendous record of 11-2-1.

Rick Hill was the manager of the Braves this season, and he has been coaching in WLL for five seasons. Hill said he always looked forward to every game and practice

"It was great being around a great group of players who were supportive of each other and passionate about baseball," said Hill.

The players on the squad were Zach Abbott, James Hill, Glenn Sullivan, Michael Dovidio, Michael Baker, Jonathan Mills, Brian Neal, Joseph Visalli, Michael Shedd, Travis Howard, Brendan Dembowski Taylor Brownell, and Brian Cook.

Jr League Giants Masato Aoki is the manager

of the Junior League Giants and he enjoys helping the players in the league succeed on and off the field Aoki is on the Board of Directors for WLLB and this was his first year managing a team.

He served as an assistant for many years in the league and said he has enjoyed volunteering his time for WLLB.

"I played baseball throughout high school, and serving on the Board and teaching the game as a manager are my way of giving back to a game and a community I care about deeply," said Aoki.

Aoki coached the Giants to an 8-5 record. During the postseason, the Giants beat the Astros in their first playoff game 13-7 but lost to the Cardinals in the final game.

Devin Field and Zack Lord combined to pitch a good game against the Astros. In the final game, the Giants lost 12-7 to a much improved Cardinals team

Evan Raffi, Jake Aoki, and Tom Magee pitched well for the Giants but could not hold off a last-inning rally.

Coach Aoki said the postseason showed how much the team- progressed from the beginning of the spring.

"Both games were more competitive than the scores

indicate," said Aoki. "Moreover, the playoff games showed impressive improvement by all the teams and players."

Several players on the Giants had tremendous seasons. Raffi was among the top catchers in the league, throwing out base stealers at second and third. He also hit .600 with.four doubles this season.

Pitcher-shortstop Field hit .474, also with four doubles. Lead-off hitter and pitcher- shortstop Aoki hit .343 and had an on-base average of .511 while striking out only once all season.

Pitcher-IB Zack Lord hit .314 with three doubles. Many players showed great improvement throughout the season, especially catcher-3B Magee, 2B Alex Menzel, IB Nick Menzel, and outfielder Rijey Keogan.

Aoki said sportsmanship, fun, and fundaments are his points of emphasis when he coaches a youth sports team, and his players bought into this approach

"They worked hard at practice and tried to improve their play," said Aoki. "They supported each other on the field and enjoyed playing against their friends across the field The players had fun while working on their fundamental skills. I was very pleased with my team"

The players on the Junior League Giants were Michael Amato, Jake Aoki, Bobby Brabant, Devin Field, George Hooper, Ryan Horgan, Riley Keogan, Zack Lord, Mike Magliozzi, Tom Magee, Alex Menzel, Nick Menzel, Evan Raffi, and Ryan Walsh.

Major League Athletics After finishing the season 2-

12, the Major League Athletics rose to the occasion in the postseason. They entered the playoffs the lowest seed and beat the highest seed Yankees 4-2. The A's lost to the Red Sox 2-0 the next game, but it was still a terrific effort by the club.

Mike Gracia coached the A's this season and has been coaching in the WLL since 1999. He started with t-ball and

all the way up through Northeast with his oldest son Michael. Now he is going back through the program with his youngest son, Danny, 10, and Gracia said he has had a great time coaching.

"It was a lot of fun being around my son and the rest of the kids and see them growing as players and the joy they all got from being part of the baseball team," said Gracia.

The 10-year olds on the team were David Silveira and Danny Gracia. The 11-year olds on the squad were Robbie Ducharme, Cam Walsh and Zach Richards.

The 12-year olds were Scott Newton, Andrew Lobao, Ian Palmer, Mike Lulsdorf, Mike Gake, Lawrence Gordan, Steven Langenfeld and Conor Bailey

Newton and Lobao were selected to the 12-year-old all- star team. Ducharme was selected to the 11-year-old all stars, and Gracia expects Silveira and Gracia to be all stars when they are 12.

Major League Orioles Brian Kane is so dedicated

to helping players in the WLL succeed. He has been a coach for the Major League Orioles for over 20 years and man- aged the team to another great season this year.

The Orioles finished the 2010 campaign with a record of 8- 6, and Kane said he was glad the way the season turned out.

"I'm very happy with the year we've had on the Orioles," said Kane "We had 14 great kids that were a plea- sure to work with. We were in a lot of exciting games throughout the year.

"We improved as a team and got to the playoff finals for the third year in a row. Everyone on the team made important contributions to

Sr League Astros What an outstanding season

for the Senior League Astros. The squad won the championship under Manager Joe Cerbone, who has been coaching for over ten years in WLLB.

The players on the team

were Frankie Cerbone, Mike Ciampa, Trevor Foley, Adam Siegel, Joe Russell, Zach Sheppard, Steve Ciampa, Ryan Cocca, Mike Diorio, Luke Foley, Tyler Warner, Matt Diorio, Jake Russell and Brandon Gentile.

Mike Ciampa pitched the championship game and he only allowed two runs. The Astros battled with runs at the beginning of game and the fourth inning was their clutch inning. Steve Ciampa led off and got on base, Mike Ciampa had a single, and Russell walked to load the bases.

Cerbone, the cleanup hitter, smacked a bomb to right center which one hopped the fence for a triple to score

three runs. Coach Cerbone said the sea-

son was a lot of fun to be a part of.

"I really enjoyed this season as the 14-year olds really showed some character and class," said Cerbone. "They are truly great ball players who wanted to learn the game at an older level.

"I would also like to thank my assistant coaches Mike Ciampa and Fred Russell who helped me the last three years make it to the championship game and win it twice"

The 16 year olds who played their last year at town level are Cerbone, Ciampa, Foley, Siegel and Russell.

Tewksbury Youth Baseball Round-Up

Morris strikes out 16 to lead Phillies to win Bv CHRIS RICCIARDI Sports Correspondent

As Brett Morris departed from Sunday's major-league championship game, the crowd that assembled at Poulin Field could only cheer for his performance

In an amazing display of pitching skill, Morris kept the Cubs hitless through 6.1 innings and struck out 16 batters, leading the Phillies to a 13-1 victory and the town's championship.

Phillies manager Wayne Freitag, who was doused by his players with bottles of Gatorade following the victory, spoke highly of his top hurler.

"Brett did an unbelievable job for us," Freitag said. "I said to Brett after the game, 'Did you ever believe that you were going to be here?' He's had the heart all season long. It was his game."

All of Morris's pitches worked well, and he was able to subdue the Cubs' bats throughout the day. When the Cubs reached base for the first time, which was due to a lead-off walk in the fifth- inning, the Phillies already held a 11-0 advantage in the game.

"There's not much you can do against [Morris]," Cubs manager Jim Wackrow said. "We tried to get him out of the game early, but we couldn't do it. He's so consistent."

Despite losing the championship game, Wackrow said that he was proud of his team with their tenacity throughout the game. Rather than go scoreless in their final game, the Cubs were able to prevent the shutout by scoring a run in the final inning.

"It's good to see that the kids didn't quit," Wackrow said. "I look back at all of these kids, and they progressed so much. That's the big thing."

The Phillies' bats came alive in the second inning. With men on first and second

with one out, Phillies shortstop Nick Dunlap hit a double, scoring both runners. The bases were loaded two batters later for first baseman Zach Crusaden. He drew a walk, and another run crossed home plate By the time that the inning ended, the Phillies scored two more runs to take an early 5-0 lead.

In the fourth frame, with the Phillies holding a 9-0 lead, Morris helped his own cause with a single, driving in two runs. The Phillies would score another run in the fifth inning to give themselves a 13-0 lead.

The Cubs were able to break through in the sixth and final inning. With runners at first base and second base, shortstop Joe Truli knocked a single into right field, driving in the Cubs' lone run of the day.

The Cubs squad includes Matthew Brems, Nathan Robillard, Sean Budryk, Jacob Larsen, Ryan Meade, Trulli, Cameron Carmichael, Thomas McKenna, Ryan Wackrow, Joseph Arsenault, Cameron Kelly, and Kyle Privetera. Meade was the Cubs' starting pitcher.

The Phillies team is made up of Richard Colarusso, Curseaden, Dunlap, Alex Froment, Brett Morris, Ryan Morris, Andrew Moulaison, Trevor Nickerson, Brendan Sjostedt, Tamboli, Ethan Trudeau, Jonathan Verrill, and Andrew White

Sr. League Title Game As he won the third town

championship of his career, Eric Torres seemed to play both an offensive and a defensive role in the Royals' clinching victory.

Torres only allowed 3 runs as the team's starting pitcher. He also drove in the go-ahead run with a late double leading the Royals to a 6-4 victory in nine innings over the Astros at Poulin Field on Tuesday night.

However, when asked to comment on his performance, Torres remained humble. Later, his coach simply stated the obvious.

"I think I did pretty well," Torres said. "I could have done a little better, especially with my hitting."

"He's too modest," Royals coach Nick Fronduto responded. "No matter where we put him, he always steps up. He's really one of the keys to our team. Boy, he does a great job."

In seven-plus innings, Torres allowed three runs on eight hits, and he struck out eight. In the third inning, Torres ran into a rough patch, allowing three runs. From that point on, Torres found his rhythm, only allowing four hits for the remainder of his outing.

The Royals, who finish the regular season with a division-worst 4-11 record, seemed to have an interest in dramatic endings throughout the championship series. In the first game the Royals took a 9-8 thrilling victory that took eight innings. Then, in Tuesday night's clinching game it took nine innings to decide a victor.

Fronduto said that the tough games reflected the tough- neess of his team.

"I think they have a lot of character," Fronduto said. "Every game, we had our backs against the wall. We played a tough team. Every at-bat was a tough at-bat."

The Royals finish the season with an overall record of 8-12., The Astros, meanwhile have an overall record of 9-10.

Astros' coach Bob Daley said that his team had the effort to win, but it just didn't work out.

"It's hard for these guys to lose a game like that," Daley said. "Sometimes, we tried to do a little too much. The guys battled back, but we just couldn't get the winning run across the plate"

In the bottom of the seventh inning, the Royals nearly lost the game. The score was tied at three runs apiece With Astros catcher Paul Cogan at second base with one out, Kevin Leary launched a shot to left field. Cogan hustled around third base, and it appeared that the Astros would take the championship with a game-winning run.

However, Royals left fielder Ryan Hartnett cut Cogan's path to home plate with a well-timed throw to catcher Bryan Cymbura. After a brief rundown, Cogan was tagged out by Royals third baseman Brad Marshall. When Chris Crawford flied out to center field to end the frame the Royals had new life and took advantage in the final frame.

In the bottom of the ninth, following a failed scoring opportunity in the eighth, right fielder Greg Marshall led off with a walk. He later stole second base beating a close throw from Cogan. Paul Fronduto hit an infield single. Torres then handed the Royals the lead, hitting a deep double to center field, driving in both Marshall and Fronduto.

The Royals scored another run before the inning ended, and they took a 6-3 lead into the final inning. The Astroso were able to score one run due to a Royals' defensive miscue, but couldn't push the tying run across the plate.

AAA Marlins Last Tuesday, the AAA

National League Champion Marlins beat the undefeated Orioles to win the Tewksbury Town Championship. It was a great season for the Marlins, who were coached by Ed Connerty. First, the AAA Marlins won the National League title with a record of 9 wins, 3 losses and 1 tie

Due to the Marlins having the best season record, Ed and his coaching staff were

selected with the honor of being the All Star Game coaches in which their National League team won 4- 3. Then during the playoffs after one win, the Marlins lost their next game which knocked them into the loser's bracket. They then had to win their next three games, three days in a row, to make it to the Town Championship. But the Marlins did not give up. They fought hard together as a team to win one game against the Diamondbacks, and then back to back games against the Cubs. The Town Championship game was a hard fought, close game that the Marlins won with great pitching and outstanding defense in a game that ended 4-2. Congratulations to the AAA Marlins, Town Champs.

Team: Brent Duffy, Dominic Jolly, Michael Lambert, Travis MacMurdo, Kyle Marrocco, David Miller, Joshua Nickerson, Ryan Nickerson, Matthew Perron, Jared Rizzo and Will Timmons. Team Mascot: Ozzie; Head Coach: Ed Connerty Assistant Coaches: Jude Perron, Jim Duffy, Mark Jolly and Jim Biewener.

All-Star Teams Start Campaigns

' In the District 14 Tournament, the Tewksbury American and the Tewksbury National teams in the 10-year- old Division opened up the season with a game against each other on Monday.

The Tewksbury National team were able to pull a come-from-behind victory in a 12-11 win at Poulin Field. Earlier in the game, the National team faced an 11-9 deficit.

Blake Hiltz drove three runs in with a triple. The pitching duties for the National team were divided among Justin Keough, Brian Morris, and Braden Hilztz, who was the

winning pitcher. Brendan Studley pitched

most of the game for the American team.

Tewksbury National (1-0) will play the North Andover East team on July 1. The game which will be held at Poulin Field, begins at 5:30 p.m. Tewksbury American (0- 1) will host the North Andover East team on July 6 at 5:30 p.m.

Northeast Highlights With spectators packing

their chairs and the final result seemingly assured, the Tewksbury Redmen and the Stoneham Spartans appeared ready to close the book on a summer high school baseball game on June 22.

However, Redmen center fielder Frankie McLaughlin was able to add some drama to the final inning with a stellar defensive play, keeping Stoneham out of scoring position and preserving a 10-3 Tewksbury victory at drizzly Strong Field.

Tewksbury's record currently stands at 2-2.

With a single out in the top of the seventh inning, Stoneham second baseman Seamus Landers was able to knock an offering from Tewksbury's Brad Gahagan deep into center field. As Landers rounded second, McLaughlin quickly scooped up the ball and gunned it towards the infield.

With a strong throw from his relay man, Landers was tagged out at third base In a play that seemed destined to put Stoneham in scoring position, it only left the Spartans with another blown opportunity to score

The play also proved to bea stellar highlight for Tewksbury's center fielder.

"I didn't think it would be a close play," McLaughlin said. "I just thought to get the ball

The Tewksbury Triple A Marlins enjoyed winning the league title recently, (courtesy photo).

to the relay person as fast as I could. We got the out. I was ecstatic."

The Tewksbury pitching duo of Chris Andella and Brad Gahagan kept the Stoneham offense silent. The Spartans' first hit came in the sixth inning when Danny Lumb hit a triple By that point, however, the Redmen were cruising towards their first win this summer.

Andella went three innings, only allowing one run with

three strikeouts. He didn't .allow a hit, and he walked three Gahagan allowed two runs in four innings, striking out five.

Stoneham coach Glen Crooker could only watch as his hitters struggled to muster an offensive attack.

"It wasn't good for us," Crooker said. "We haven't played all that sloppy, but our hitting hasn't been there. If we hit and get runs, we're in a game Other than that,

Cheerleading clinic with Wilmington Recreation

WILMINGTON - Skyhawks, a national youth sports com pany with local camps in over 24 states, will be teaching a cheerleading clinic for Wilmington Recreation. Participants will be taught proper hand and body move- ments along with the jumping techniques that make cheer- ing the competitive sport it is today. The week will con-

clude with a choreographed performance. Class for children ages six to eight will be held from July 19 - 23,2010, 9 am. - 12 p.m. Cost is $101. Pre-registration and pre-payment are required.

you saw [what happens]." As Crooker watched his

offense struggle, Tewksbury coach Doug Hood was able to enjoy a strong offensive showing from his lineup. In the first inning, the Redmen took an early 6-0 advantage From that point on, Tewksbury maintained a healthy lead throughout the game

"Everybody's coming together as a team," Hood said. "It's the first time we've hit the ball. In the first two games, we had five hits. We did a little [batting practice} before the game; hopefully that helped."

In the first inning, with the bases loaded with two outs, McLaughlin was able to draw a walk, and Tewksbury took an early 1-0 advantage Then, with another run in for the Redmen, catcher Earl Malarkey drove the ball into left field several batters later. With an off-target throw from Stoneham's left fielder Sean Bryan, two runs

scored. By the end of the frame Tewksbury held a 6-0 lead.

Stoneham's first run came in the top of the third frame An errant pick-off attempt to first base allowed Stoneham's Austin Bryan to reach third base During the next at-bat, a wild pitch allowed Bryan to cross home plate and cut Tewksbury's lead to five runs.

The Redmen were able to put the game out of reach in the sixth inning. With Tewksbury holding a 6-1 advantage over the Spartans, Andella was struck in the ankle with a pitch. Then, following a walk to Joe Hulme, Kevin Saunders drove in Andella with a single One batter later, Gahagan hit a ground ball to first base. That allowed Hulme to score Tewksbury's eighth run of the night.

The Redmen will host Westford on Thursday with a 6 p.m. starting time

Winchester Hospital offers free caregiver support group

WINCHESTER - The responsibility of caring for someone who is aging, dis- abled or chronically ill can limit free time, interfere with sleep and take a toll on a caregiver's physical and emotional health. Although more than 50 million people in the U.S. provide daily living assistance to loved ones, caregivers often feel alone, helpless and unpre- pared or unable to provide the care their loved ones need.

Winchester Home Care, a department of Winchester Hospital, offers a free, monthly support group to provide information, new ideas and emotional support that caregivers require for themselves as well as their loved ones. Sessions enable participants to share and explore solutions to problems; listen and talk in a confidential setting; meet others in a similar role; learn ways to balance obligations and reduce stress; find out about community resources; and help others while helping themselves.

"The role of the caregiver can at times be overwhelm- ing and lonely," said support group facilitator Patricia Cucinotta, RN, a Winchester Home Care case manager with more than 20 years of experience working with the elderly and chronically ill, as well as those who care for them. "Research has proven that caregivers who become involved in support groups have decreased anxiety and depression and increased physical, emotional and

psychological well-being. My goal is to empower caregivers so they can cope with the challenges that arise each day."

The Caregiver Support Group meets every second Tuesday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Winchester Home Care, 800 W. Cummings Park, Suite 5000 in Woburn. Upcoming sessions will take place on July 13, Aug. 10, Sept. 14, Oct. 12, Nov. 9 and Dec 14. The group is free, but par-

ticipants are asked to register by calling Winchester Home Care at (781) 756- 2488.

Winchester Hospital is the first community hospital in Massachusetts to earn Magnet recognition, the American Nurses Association's highest honor for nursing excellence As the northwest suburban Boston area's leading provider of comprehensive health care services, the 229-bed facility provides care in general, bariatric and vascular surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, oncology, gas- troenterology, rehabilitation, radiation oncology, pain management, obstet- rics/gynecology and a Level IIB Special Care Nursery. Winchester Hospital has clinical affilia- tions with several nationally recognized hospitals in the region, including Children's Hospital Boston, Tufts Medical Center and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Northeast Metropolitan Vocational School

Pressing on in tough times

Enrollment is up significantly in last 10 years By RYAN LAROCHE

WAKEFIELD-Thanks to a receding economy that's forced public schools to make budget cuts, parents have begun to look elsewhere for places to educate their children. One such place is located right in the Middlesex East's own backyard: the Northeast Metropolitan Reg- ional Vocational School (otherwise known as the Voke), at 100 Hemlock Rd. in Wakefield.

Current per pupil assesments

Chelsea $3,068 Maiden $6,776

Melrose $12,257 North Reading $11,874

Reading $11,712 Revere $6,613 Saugus $13,936

Stoneham $13,430 Wakefield $13,289

Winchester $12,878 Winthrop $11,515 Woburn $13,562

The school houses students from all over the area from Winthrop to Winchester. There are 12 communities in total which make up the Voke. They include Chelsea, Maiden, Melrose, North Reading, Read- ing, Revere, Saugus, Stoneham, Wakefield, Winchester, Win- throp, and Woburn.

While there are many bright spots to point to, the school has suffered from the economic tsunami more than most school deparments.

The Voke laid off 37 teach- ers (plus, they didn't replace some of its retirees, deciding to save the money instead), bringing its student-teacher ratio from 20:1 to 23:1 in academic classrooms. For safety reasons, shop classes are limited to no more than 20:1.

Superintendent John Crowley called the budget "tough'' and said it was as low as allowed by the state It was cut by $1.5M. The next step for the school is to wait for it to be passed, which requires the approval of at least eight of the districts. So far, accord-

ing to the superintendent, Wakefield, Winchester, Chel- sea, Stoneham, Winthrop, Wo- burn and Reading approved it. He believes Melrose will say yes and be the eighth school. In the past, communities have had problems with Voke's budget, but this year Crowley said things were much smoother.

As tough as this year was, Crowley mentioned next year being even worse without a stimulus. "It's like falling off the Grand Canyon."

The vocational school's building was built in 1968 and designed to hold 900 students. Obviously, the school has exceeded that number by 300 students and Crowley expects the enrollment to continue to grow. He said during the "Big Dig" phase the Voke was "really hopping."

"We're at the maximum number of students. The parking lot is full, the halls are full. Our next step we've discussed is to create a capital committee to make sure the building stays up and running," Crowley commented.

Another concern to some, which Crowley has no control over, concerns how much each community pays the school.

The formula, which the superintendent admitted was difficult to explain, relies on the municipal growth factor or property values in each district and its increases. For instance, Saugus, which has properties on Route 1 at a value of $7.7B paid for FY11 $2,336,122, while Chelsea at 79 percent low income, paid $500,890.

Current per pupil assesments include Chelsea $3,068, Maiden $6,776, Melrose $12,257, North Reading $11,874,, Read- ing $11,712 Revere $6,613, Saugus $13,936, Stoneham $13,430, Wakefield $13,289,

JOHN CROWLEY SERVES AS SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT at the Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational School. Crowely is set to retire at the end of this month. The 'Voke' has seen significant growth over the last decade although this year's budget was difficult.

Winchester $12,878, Winthrop $11,515, and Woburn $13,562.

Therefore communities like Woburn, North Reading, Reading, Wakefield and Win- chester pay more than 300% more per pupil than Chelsea for the exact same education.

However, a bill, being discussed and signed by Rep. Mark Falzone (D-Wakefield) and co-signed by Rep. James Dwyer (D-Woburn), would change the system. According to Falzone, "(the current method for allocating funding for vocational schools) has led to significant inequalities in contributions and placed a strain on local budgets for

"KNIGHT AND DAY" stars Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise Much of the film was shot in Boston. Diaz and Cruise both give sparkling, star-quality performances and bring the material to life, despite its total lack of believability. The movie a good summer fun night out.

"KNIGHT AND DAY" GRADE: **

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz look to recapture some of their former box office success in director James Mangold's action comedy 'Knight and Day'.

The film, much of which was shot in Boston, is almost void of any scene that could actually happen in the real world - but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining as a summer film.

The plot is simple (at least the parts you can discuss without spoiling some of the secrets): Diaz gets on a plane where Cruise is a passenger. From then on, her life spins out of control, forever changed thanks to their chance encounter.

Cruise and Diaz both give sparkling, star-quality performances and bring the material to life, despite its total lack of believability.

Mangold keeps the pace moving and the mystery was confounding enough to hold my interest until it's revealed halfway through.

The question of who Tbm is and why he's acting this way is presented in a capti- vating way, and his devil- may-care attitude, sparkling smile in the face of certain destruction, and Diaz's performance that make this

film a very worthwhile afternoon or night at the movies.

This is a lot of fun, but leave your brain at home Escape for a couple of hours, before it's time to get back to your personal reality.

"TOY STORY 3" GRADE: **♦♦

The toys are back in town, and they've been gone too long. Welcome back, Woody and Buzz.

'Toy Story 3' welcomes Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), Buzz (voice of Tim Allen) and the whole gang back to the big screen as Andy prepares to depart for college and his loyal toys find themselves in... daycare!

These untamed tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice, so it's all for one and one for all as plans for the great escape get underway. A few new faces—some plastic, some plush—join the adventure, including Barbie's counterpart Ken (voice of Michael Keaton), a thespian hedge- hog named Mr. Pricklepants (voice of Timothy Dalton) and a pink, strawberry- scented teddy bear called Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear (voice

of Ned Beatty). The film is directed by

Lee Unkrich (co-director of "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo"), produced by Pixar veteran Darla K. Anderson ("Cars," "Monsters, Inc."), and written by Academy Award*-winning screen- writer Michael Arndt ("Little Miss Sunshine").

"Toy Story 3" is easily one of the best movies of the year and an early safe bet for the Best Animated Picture Academy Award.

Crossed signals between Andy and his mom land the crew - which includes Andy's younger sister's unwanted Barbie (voice of Jodi Benson) - in a donation box and they're quickly sent off to Sunnyside Daycare.

"Tby Story 3" is full of very funny scenes, likewhen Buzz is inadvertently switched into Spanish mode and he takes on the charac- teristics of a suave Latino lover. A wealth of new char- acters add to the energy. Barbie's counterpart Ken is especially entertaining - tongue-in-cheek references to Ken's feminine tenden- cies are dead-on ("I'm not a girl's toy! Why do people keep saying that?").

A G-rated film that appeals to both adults and children alike is a rare breed and exactly what summertime family movies are all about. The bond that has developed amongst Andy's toys, and the attach- ment Andy himself has to them, is poignant and heart- felt - touching to anyone who remembers when it was finally say goodbye to childhood toys.

And "Tby Story 3" ends at the top of its game, wrap- ping the three pictures into one tremendous trilogy in an exceptional way.

"THE KARATE KID" GRADE: **•

Did the world need a remake of 1984's "The Karate Kid"? Not really. Is it enjoyable nonetheless? Absolutely.

In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has land- ed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his class-

mate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Die's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng.

In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu.

As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punch- es and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life

This version of the classic underdog tale doesn't have have a winning catch- phrase like o 'wax on, wax off,' but it easily scores a knockout punch.

The film really takes off when Jackie Chan enters the picture. He smartly doesn't try to mimic Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi and instead makes Han a completely different, but immensely entertaining character.

Jaden is athletic and charming at times, and hits some rough patches in his delivery of lines, but there are also times when he looks like his famous father.

The original 'Karate Kid' and this new new version share some similarities, like the tournament, a maintenance man/karate instructor and tasks the child is assigned to do that actually help train him in the wasy of karate, but this version also stands on its own much of the time

The film, at a little over two hours and 13 minutes, is a fairly long run time for a movie geared more to a younger audience

It's hard not to feel inspired at the end of this 'Karate Kid', even if the end result is obvious from the opening scene ... , .,'•■.. u

• WWII B-17 BOMBER FLIGHTS IN BOSTON

Liberty Belle, the most recently restored World War H Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress will take to the skies over Boston on Monday, July 5th. at 1 p.m. Public flights are available on July 10 and 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Liberty Belle is one of only 14 B-17s that still fly today. The B-17, dubbed the "Flying Fortress" as a result of her defensive fire power, saw action in every theater of operation during WWII. The majority of all B-17s were operated by the 8th Airforce in Europe and participated in countless missions from bases in England deep into enemy territory.

The total flight experience takes 45 minutes with approximately half hour in flight. Flights expences are $395 for Liberty Foundation members and $430 for non-members. Passengers can become a Liberty Foundation Member for $40 and receive the member discount for family and friends.

While $430 per person sounds expensive, it must be put into perspective when compared to a Bl7's operating cost. A Flying Fortress costs over $4500 per flight hour and the Liberty Foundation spends over $1,000,000 annually to keep the Liberty Belle airworthy and out on tour.

The Liberty Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit flying museum and funds generated merely help offset these high costs. Only the public's interest and other generous donations keep the Liberty Belle flying and from being silenced perma- nently in a museum for years to come. To reserve a flight call 918-34(M)243

"Claiming any excess money ought to be returned to the bill payers, the City Council's Finance Committee endorsed a $30 cut in the city's water and sewer rates...," notes the Woburn edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle"

"Pending approval by the full City Council at its meeting on Tuesday, July 6, the annual water/sewer rate will be $533, billed in two installments.

"The FinCom also endorsed a reduction of 24 cents in the commercial water rate, which will be lowered to $4.60 per 1,000 cubic gallons. Commercial sewer rates are billed at 304 percent of annual water charges or 10 percent above the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) sewer charge (whichever is higher).

"'This is a good scenario for the rate payers,' said Ward 7 Alderman Raymond

Drapeau, chairman of the Finance Committee. 'This is a great story.'

"Water and sewer rates are set by city ordinance. The reductions were proposed by Mayor Scott Galvin, who said the proposed enterprise fund budget for FY '11 is $17.4 million, a decrease of about $100,000 from this year. There was a reduction of about $1 million in the sewer assessment from the MWRA ... FinCom members were swayed by a series of spread- sheets presented by city Auditor Gerald Surette, who said at the end of the current fiscal year the city will end up

• with a surplus of about $2.7 million in the water/sewer enterprise account.

"Even with the rate reduction, the city will end up with a surplus of $92,381 at the end ofFY'll.

"Alderman at-large Richard Haggerty asked if it was fiscally prudent to give a rate cut when the council is also on the threshold of approving a $6.7 million bond

MOVIES from S-2

of a record company intern with two days to drag an uncooperative rock legend to Hollywood for a comeback concert. The comedy is the latest film from pro- ducer Judd Apatow (The 40- Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Funny People).

Aaron Greenberg (Hill) gets things done The ambi- tious 23-year-old has exag- gerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.'s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand, reprising his role in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall') is both a bril- liant musician and walking poster man for sex addic- tion.

Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life, with a few parties along the way. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back before embarking on world domination once again.

As the countdown to the concert begins, one intern must navigate a minefield of London drug smuggles, New York City brawls and Vegas lap dances to deliver Snow to the Greek safe and sound.

Get Him to the Greek is laugh-out-loud hilarious, andiollows the now familiar but thoroughly enjoyable Apatow film formula for success of shockingly crude vulgarity and equally shocking sentimentality.

The entire cast is a delight, and the use of real celebs and news personali- ties (the film packs the first 10 minutes with more cameos than a Celtics/Lakers game at the Staples Center) is a great diversion. Brand is very funny once gaian as Snow,

•but the film's surprise show stealer is Sean Combs aka P. Diddy, who absolutely runs away with every scene he's in, playing an exagger- ated version of himself.


authorization for work to improve drainage systems in the city.

"Galvin said the interest rates on the bond authorization are 'extremely low' - about 0.5 percent - and taking out a loan would be a better option than using free cash.

"'But at the end of the day, we're still increasing debt and cutting revenues,' replied Haggerty. 'In the private sec- tor, that's a crazy way of doing business.'.... COMBUSTIBLES, NOT FIREWORKS (WILMINGTON)

"Selectmen unanimously approved aboveground storage of combustible products for Lubrizol Advanced Materials after the company completed sprinkler system upgrades," notes the Wilmington "Town Crier."

"Lubrizol Advanced Materials, located at 207 Lowell Street, is a business segment of Lubrizol, Inc and specializes in manufacturing thermoplastic urethanes and resins for use in medical devices such as tubing, insulin monitors, pacemakers, and more. Formerly known as Noveon Consumer Specialties.

"The flammables and combustibles license to increase aboveground storage of chemicals was denied last fall when fire officials noted that the fire protection system was insufficient. Since then the company made a significant investment - replacing old pipe, installing a 1000-gallon per-minute fire pump and installing in-rack sprinklers, Deputy Fire Chief Edmund Corcoran told the Crier ..." BATHROOMS NEXT? (WAKEFIELD)

"The Wakefield Conservation Commission approved the Notice of Intent submitted by B & G Outdoor Recreation, Inc. to install boat docks in Lake Quannapowitt,"

notes the Wakefield edition ol the"Daily Times Chronicle.''

"When the Town approved the license for the use ol canoes and kayaks in the lake, they appeared before the Conservation Commission and were advised to file a Notice of Intent. Mike Ryan, the Site Manager, explained that two 14-foot seasonal docks would be placed 5 feet off shore to launch and store the 4 row boats used in the business.

"The Commission determined that 6 posts of galva- nized steel approximately 2 inches in diameter would be driven by hand into the sandy surface below the water and used to hold the docks and would be removed at the end of the seasoh, would not have any adverse effects on the 'land under water bodies.'

"The dock will be accessed by a steel gang plank and the boats will be placed on the docks at night and secured and the plank removed to prevent access. The Commission was satisfied with the project and closed the Public Hearing and approved the Notice ol Intent with a condition for the applicant to receive the appropriate license from the state.

"The major issue was the large number of trees being cut would cause a loss of the canopy that provides shade to the fragile wetlands. The builder has proposed to plant trees, but as there is little soil on ledge, it is questionable il the trees can root and provide the needed shade. The Commission will prepare revi- sions and possibly meet ... to finalize and sign the decision.

"The next regular meeting is scheduled for July 7."

'MIDDLESEX EAST SPORTS WEEKLY TRIVIA: Three players have hit a grand slam home run in their first major league at bat. One player hit his grand slam on the first major league pitch he faced. Who was that player? Answer appears elsewhere in this column.

•JACfllll BARBEII (WOBURN). who won the NCAA Division II championship in the shot put, was named to the ESPN The Magazine College Division Academic All-America Second Team, released last Thursday.

Barrett is UMass Lowell's first Academic AU-American since UMass Lowell's field hockey coach Shannon (LeBlanc) Hlebichuk C98), earned the distinction in 1997.

The ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America teams are voted upon by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The College Division includes NCAA Division II and III colleges and universities.

Barrett was named to the ESPN College Division District I (Northeast) All- Academic First Team on June 6, which secured her eligibili- ty for the Academic All- America squad.

"We are extremely proud of Jacqui for her work in the classroom and on the track," said UML Head Coach Gary Gardner. "She is the bench- mark of a successful student- athlete Whatever accolades she receives are well deserved and earned with hard work in and out of the classroom."

The honor is the latest of a handful of athletic and academic awards in what has been a spectacular season for Barrett. She won the NCAA championship in the shot put on Saturday, May 29, when her school-record throw of 50 feet, 8.25 inches bested the remainder of the field.

The championship was the highlight of four major titles this season as Barrett captured the New England cham-

pionship - against throwers from all three NCAA divisions - on May 8 and set a meet record with a toss of 47' 9.25". She also won both the indoor (47' 7.25") and outdoor shot put at the Northeast-10 Conference championships.

Tabbed the East Region Field Athlete of the Year for both the indoor and outdoor seasons by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFC- CCA), Barrett graduated with a 3.54 cumulative grade point average as a psychology major.

Barrett has been named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team three times as well as the NE-10 All-Academic Teams on two occasions. On Apr. 27, she was named the recipient of the NE-10 Track & Field Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Award, presented to one student-athlete in each NE-10-sponsored sport.

Barrett is the daughter of Edward Barrett of Woburn, MA, and Carlene Strangeways of Woburn, MA.

•On July 16, 2010 East CELEBRITY ELITE ^LLSTAR CHEERLEAPING GYM IN TEWKSBURY and Southern NH Spirit Boosters will host a Tumble-A-Thon fundraiser benefiting the Bella Tucker Fund. East Celebrity Elite is a competitive cheerleading gym for which area athletes from many communities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire train and compete Athletes from the gym's cheer teams will raise money through sponsor donations, and will commit to tumble continuously for 3 minutes, choosing any tumble skill they wish to do during this time Area businesses and residents who wish to make matching donations, or other contributions to the Bella Tucker Fund with this fundraiser may do so by contacting contact Nicole Wallace (phone: 603) 4864812 or email: [email protected]. All donations are tax deductible,

and 100 percent of funds raised by the event will be donated to the Bella Tucker Fund.

Bella Tucker is an 8-year- old girl who attends South School Elementary in Londonderry, New Hampshire and is a member of the Phantom Gymnastics team. Bella became ill with a near fatal infection on Easter Sunday. Doctors gave little hope for this third graders' survival, but after five days in a coma she miraculously survived Streptococcus Pneumonia Sepsis with.DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation).

Unfortunately, her survival from this infection was not without significant cost. The infection caused extensive tissue damage, and on April 27, 2010, Bella underwent quadru- ple a mput at ion surgery and is currently facing an extremely long and hard recovery at Children's Hospital in Boston with extensive rehabilitation to follow, as she learns to live life without her limbs.

Fortunately, Bella has the love and support of her three older brothers and younger sister during these trying times. The family is suddenly faced with significant challenges, many of which can be eased with financial help. For example, their home in Londonderry, New Hampshire will need extensive modifications to accommodate a wheelchair. Bella's mother, who is also her primary insurance holder, must be by her side during the extensive rehabilitation process and therefore she will be unable to work, causing the family to lose significant income Since her mother will be with her during this process, the family needs funds for daycare of their other children. She will be faced with medical challenges for the rest of her life.

•Need some help with this week's question? He hit the grand slam off Texas Rangers pitcher Edinson Volquez.

•Dick Umile, head coach of the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team, has announced the six-

member incoming freshman class of 2010 Friday morning. Justin Agosta (East Meadow, N.Y.), Kevin Goumas (Lake Worth, Fla.), Eric Knodel (West Chester, Pa.), Jeff Silengo (Madison, Conn.), Nick Sorkin (RockvUle, Md.) and JEFF WYER (READING, MASS.) com- prise the Wildcats' freshman class for the upcoming 2010-11 season.

"This class of incoming freshmen will help the UNH program in many ways. They feature great skills and strong knowledge of the game," said Umile. "Each of them will be asked to make an immediate impact both on and off the ice Overall, we are very happy to be adding this group of six hockey players to the UNH program."

Wyer (G, 6-0,185) looks to join a long line of successful UNH netminders from the Bay State, including most recently Kevin Regan and Mike Ayers. Wyer played last season for the Valley Jr.

Warriors of the EJHL, posting a 14-13-1 record in 29 games with a .907 save percentage and a 3.87 goals against average The Reading High School product's accomplishments are extensive starting with a 50-15-3 record and a 1.45 GAA in his high school career. Wyer had 18 career shutouts including seven during his final season in Reading, a year in which he was 12-8-3 with a .934 save percentage. Wyer's Reading team was named the Massachusetts Super 8 champions in 2008 and was also Middlesex League champions in 2006-07 and 2007- 08. In 2009, Wyer was named to the Boston Globe All- Scholastic and Super Team, as well as the Boston Herald All- Scholastic and Dream Team.

LOCAL LEADERS DISCUSS ISSUES FACING THEIR MUNICIPALITIES INCLUD- ING THE NORTHEAST VOCATIONAL SCHOOL - (1-r) John Ash, Town Manager Chelsea; Steve Maio, lown Manager Wakefield; Peter Hechenbleikner, Tbwn Manager Reading; & John Crowiey Yoke Superintendent. , Bill Ryerson photo

municipalities with a higher assessment." The proposed change includes dividing the

number of pupils in the district and arriving at a cost per pupil. "Each member municipality then contributes that cost for each pupil that attends the Vocational School District from that municipality."

Based on one method of calculation, each district would pay $9,086 per student, which would be an increase per student for Chelsea, Maiden and Revere, and a decrease for all the rest.

Will this bill pass? Not according to Crowiey, who said that since the Speaker of the House represents Revere and Winthrop "the chances of this bill seeing the light of day are not good"

Besides receiving money from districts and Chapter 70, the Voke is the largest recipient of the Perkins Grant in the state ($60,000) due to its large number of low income students. Also, the federal government will fund a portion of the budget, but in return they do a follow up to see that the money is being spent properly

Since the 2001-2002 school year, enrollment has increased at the school from 1,096 to 1,207 in 2009-2010. In each district, enrollment has fluctuated. To wit:

• Chelsea: 240 students were enrolled in 2001-2002, but only 190 in 2009-2010.

• Maiden: 150 students were enrolled in 2001- 2002, but 216 in 2009-2010.

•' Melrose: 30 students were enrolled in 2001- 2002, but 46 in 2009-2010.

• North Reading: 27 students were enrolled in 2001-2002, but 37 in 2009-2010.

• Reading: 22 students were enrolled in 2001- 2002, but 28 in 2009-2010.

• Revere: 277 students were enrolled in 2001- 2002, but only 239 in 2009-2010.

• Saugus: 139 students were enrolled in 2001- 2002, but 173 in 2009-2010.

• Stoneham: 36 students were enrolled in 2001-2002, but 52 in 2009-2010.

• Wakefield: 39 students were enrolled in 2001-2002, but 91 in 2009-2010.

• Winchester: 9 students were enrolled in 2001-2002, but 11 in 2009-2010.

• Winthrop: 40 students were enrolled in 2001-2002, but 65 in 2009-2010.

• Woburn: 87 students were enrolled in 2001- 2002, but only 59 in 2009-2010.

Only three communities (Chelsea, Revere and Woburn) showed a decrease in enrollment to the school over those nine years proving that parents have found the Voke to be a viable alternative to schools with traditional curricu- lum.

When asked why the school was so popular, Crowiey cited a number of reasons including the 100 percent MCAS success rate, diversity, lack of bullying, manageable class rates, and number of trade options. Typically the school has twice as many applicants as it does seats, though this year was a little less.

In regard to the diversity rate, the school, this past year, was made up of 733 males and 516 females, with 67 percent of the students Caucasian, 24 percent Hispanic, three percent black, three percent American Indian, and 1.9 percent Asian. 47 percent are low income students and 26 percent are considered special education students.

Crowiey said that his school "reflects America. We're very diverse when it comes to race, income and work."

The superintendent wasn't surprised at the number of female students at a trade-heavy school. He said while the student population was mostly male in the early days, more health care trades have brought in more females. Also, women are now entering non-traditional classes, i.e welding.

It would stand to reason that with such a great diversity among students, bullying would be a problem, but Susan Englander, an expert on bullying from Bridgewater State when asked by 60 Minutes which schools in Massachusetts "get it," replied the Voke school.

Crowiey pointed to peer mentoring and peer mediation programs as a reason his school "gets it." He said, "Kids here are very tolerant of each other, (they) love and respect the work."

He also mentioned the possibility of 60 Minutes coming to the Voke in the fall.

Overall, with the ups and downs, Crowiey said his school was in "lockstep with the community. I feel we're a microcosm of America."

Dispelling the many myths associated with sun exposure

The arrival of summer is almost universally welcomed with open arms. After a long winter or rain-soaked spring, summer sun can be just what the doctor ordered

But spending too much time in the sun can prove dangerous as well. Adding to those dangers is the common misconceptions associated with sun exposure, many of which give summer rev- elers a false sense of security when spending time outdoors. The following myths might be commonly believed, but that doesn't make them true

* Myth: Sunburns are only possible when it's really sunny. Even on an overcast day it's possible to suffer a severe sunburn. UV radiation can penetrate clouds, so be sure to check UV levels before heading outside, even if it doesn't appear as if the sun is out.

* Myth: Certain skin types are safe from skin cancer. People with olive skin commonly feel as if they're immune to skin cancer. However, skin cancer knows no skin type, and everyone is at its mercy when spending time outdoors without protection. While people with darker skin have a lesser risk of skin cancer than fair-skinned folks, that doesn't mean they are immune

* Myth: Sun bathers are the only ones susceptible to skin cancer. Even normal, every day exposure to sun makes people susceptible to skin cancer. Sunburns can occur whether a person is walking the dog or washing the car. While sun bathers are at a greater risk, that reality doesn't make routine exposure any safer.

* Myth: Self tanners protect skin from the sun Fake tans do not improve the body's ability to protect itself from the sun. Be sure to wear sun block even if skin has been darkened with a self tanner.

* Myth: My skin tans and doesn't burn, so I don't need sun- block. UV rays can damage living cells, and tlie skh often turns brown as a means of protecting itself from these harmful rays. So just because the skin turns brown instead of red doesn't make it any more safe from the sun than skin that reddens upon exposure.

Cool down with a Summertime Cranberry Twist

F\m in the sun is often inter- twined with entertaining. Backyard parties, barbecues, seaside picnics, and other events are made even more memorable with the backdrop of beautiful, warm weather.

When the temperature gets a little hot under the collar, a delicious and refreshing drink can cool you down. Here's a cocktail you'll certainly want to keep on your summer recipe list.

Cranberry Twist

2 parts cranberry juke

1 part coconut-flavored rum

1 part seltzer water

Crushed ice

Fresh fruit for garnish

Blend ice, cranberry juke and rum together, until frosty. Pour into a glass and add the seltzer for a little fizz. Garnish the glass with a shoe of orange or a few fresh cranberries.

* Myth: Cosmetics that contain sunscreen provide adequate sun protection. Moisturizers and foundations with sunscreen can be adequate when the skin is exposed for very short periods of time However, those planning to spend ample time outdoors should use a separate sunscreen to protect skin. Oftentimes, beauty products that contain sunscreen have an sun protection factor far below the recommend- ed SPF 30.

* Myth: Skin cancer is easily treated Like all cancers, skin cancer can metastasize and spread to other parts of the body. What's more, there is no cure for skin cancer, and treatment options include surgery and chemotherapy. Any changes in the skin should immediately be reported to your physician.

Get the facts about cataracts dusty conditions, changing a lit- ter box, bending over or doing heavy lifting, or splashing water in the eye

Most outcomes of cataract surgery are successful. Vision is restored to at least 20/40, the

acceptable level for driving.

For those experiencing vision trouble, consult with an optometrist to determine if cataracts are the cause

EVEN MODERATE EXPOSURE to the sun can cause severe damage to unprotected skin.

More than half of Americans age 65 and older will experience cataracts, so many assume cataracts are just a sign of aging. However, children, young adults and even babies can have cataracts.

What Are Cataracts?

A cataract forms when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. The lens is responsible for focus- ing light onto the retina. The reason for cloudiness could be due to protein changes in the lens. With nuclear cataracts, the most common kind of cataract, the inside of the lens is affected. In cortical cataracts, the outside of the lens is affected

Cataracts grow quite slowly, meaning it can be years before they impact vision significantly. While they are often found in the elderly and progress as one ages, babies can be born with cataracts (known as congenital cataracts). Cataracts can be the result of steroid use. Also, younger adults can experience cataracts from a systemic ill- nesses, like diabetes. Cataracts may also form in smokers. Doctors say that not smoking can greatly reduce the risk for nuclear cataracts.

Research indicates that women are at a higher risk for cataracts than men. It could be

Weekly Health Tip: Fresh, Whole Food You cannot make up for an unhealthy lifestyle by buying foods that have "healthy, low-fat or low-carb" on the label. Packaged prepared foods have gone through significant processing so

they will have a long shelf life and a good appearance. It's healthier to stick with real food - food that is fresh and

whole. It doesn't take long to make a fresh salad, to steam fresh veggies or to cut fresh fruit. Making baked chicken, broiled fish

and a roast in the crock pot is easy if you just plan ahead. You can't take a shortcut to good health.

because cataracts develop more pronounced as individuals age Women generally live longer than men.

Cataract Symptoms

Symptoms of cataracts include blurred vision, dulled colors, appearance of halos around bright lights at night, and the need for brighter light when reading. Symptoms of cataracts cannot be remedied with reading glasses or other prescriptions.

Treatment for Cataracts

The most common treatment for cataracts that cause considerable vision impairment is surgery. A cataract will be removed only if it interferes with vision enough to prevent a person from driving, reading, or doing other essential activities. A "ripe" cataract can be extracted by an eye surgeon in a routine surgery. If cataracts are present in both eyes, surgery will be performed one at a time

The procedure is called pha- coemulsification, or phaco. An eye surgeon will make a small incision into the side of the cornea. A probe is inserted where ultrasound waves will gradually break up the cloudy cataract. A suction then removes the pieces.

Recovery time varies among patients but could be a week or two. The eye will be covered with a protective wrap for a few days. Eye drops may have to be administered daily. Eventually protective sunglasses will block out bright light from the eye One should also avoid activities that could affect the eye, such as

then, and that is likely to weigh on prices, particularly in May and June," wrote TD Bank Financial Group econo- mist Martin Schwerdtfeger Tuesday. "Weaker sales and still-high foreclosures will likely drive month's supply higher in the near term, and this will put lid on home prices."

David M. Blitzer, the S&P's index chairman, said the recovery is not getting a consistent and sustained boost from the housing market. He doesn't expect that to happen until next year.

"Other housing data confirm the large impact, and likely near-future pullback, of the federal program," Blitzer said.

Last week, the government reported that new home sales fell in May to their lowest level on record, plunging 33 percent from the month before That was the slowest sales pace on

Also, homebuilders KB Home and Lennar Corp. both reported sharp declines in new home orders in the three months ended in May.

Patrick Newport, an econo-

mist at IHS Global Insight, expects prices to resume falling through next year and lose another 6 percent to 8 percent. The declines will be widespread, he predicts.

"In two to three months, the indexes for almost all the cities will begin falling again," Newport said.

Lorella: Acompact dignified gem

An intriguing three- step hipped roof crowns the Lorella, a small home with a surprisingly spacious living room. Its stately brick column works with the brick detailing on the garage to create an attractive frame for the front door and sidelight.

This plan's narrow foot- print, a mere 40 feet in width, allows for construction on a small lot, deeper than it is wide

Parents with young children will appreciate the close proximity of the bedrooms, all on the right. Bathrooms, utilities and closets placed down the middle do double duty, serving as sound buffers between the sleeping rooms and the typically noisier active living areas.

Standing in front of the living room's gas fireplace, you can gaze outside in three directions. Wide multipaned windows fill most of the front wall, sliders at the rear look out across a patio, and another set of windows flanks the fireplace. On days when you don't want to be reminded of the weather, you can lift your spirits by shifting focus to the colorful flames in the fireplace.

The kitchen. is large enough to provide^ plenty of cupboard and counter space, yet small enough to be effi- cient. Counter space wraps around all four sides. The peninsula bordering the dining room could be outfitted as an eating bar, and the partially covered patio outside the sliding glass doors could be screened in, if desired.

Luxury touches in the Lorella's owners' suite include a roomy walk-in closet, and a

Home prices rise 0.8 pet. in April from March

NEW YORK (AP) - Home prices in Aprjl rose for the first time in seven months as government tax credits bolstered the housing market. But the rebound may be short-lived now that the incentives have expired.

The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday posted an 0.8 percent gain. It had fallen in each of the past six months.

Eighteen of 20 cities showed price increases in April from March. Washington, San Francisco and Dallas each posted gains of 2 percent or more. Eleven cities reversed their declines from the month before.

Only Miami and New York recorded price

declines. Prices in New York were the lowest since 2004.

Nationally, prices have risen 3.8 percent from their April 2009 bottom But they remain 30 percent below their July 2006 peak.

The overall price gains highlight the impact of the federal tax credits for homebuyers at the start of the traditionally strong spring selling season. Buyers rushed to purchase before the tax credits expired at the end of April. The numbers are likely to drop in the next report.
